i still cannot figure out why my car wont idle right. i cleaned the throttle body very thoroghly, and well, ive done a lot of stuff. something that happened yesterday brought me a little closer to the solution...i hope!

i was sitting in the driveway, in park, and i turn on the car, let it idle, it idles for 10 seconds, then starts loosing it, over compensating, and loosing it again, a continuous cycle until it dies. i tried this again, and when it was loosing it, i put it in drive...and it settled at idle strongly! same with reverse. seems that if there is load on the engine it can idle. anyone know what this sounds like? please help im running out of hope!!
