I've heard of this problem before. I was told it was caued by a faulty torque converter. I call a transmission shop and ask their advice.

Could just be your idle/or/idle mixture is too low, - or your accelerartor pump is no good (if has carbureter), or idle sppeed is too low.
If you have a locked torque converter your automatic transmission may still slip enough at idle to let engine idle, as the internal "clutches" operate on oil pressure, - which increases (to a point) as rpms increase. Racecars use locking torque converters that lock up at a very low speed - of course they have enough horsepower to drive the car - even with "lockup".
What happens if you increase the engine speed to about 3 times idle, does the vehicle "jump" foreward before it dies (or backwards as the case may be).
This is a common problem (but not restricted to) on Mopar vehicles with v-8 engines- up till they got into fuel injection!

It appears like the Idle Aircontrol Valve or motor "IAC".... you will get away with giving the intake an exceedingly sturdy cleansing with some intake cleanser... you could take the IAC out and hose it down with carb cleanser and placed it back in. see if it makes a differance. If no longer purchase a clean one, there to no longer undesirable.. that twelve months and sort souldnt be over $60. you could actually have a vacume leak, yet no longer very hardship-loose... i might sparkling the intake and IAC, then pass from there... if it nevertheless messes up, purchase an IAC

There are a few things that could be wrong with it depending on the year. It could be a carburator, throttle positioning sensor, injectors or if it is new enough, just a sensor. A trip to have it analyzed would be your best bet, tho not cheap, it will tell you exactly what is wrong.

Get an "Engine Analyzer" from a good auto parts store. Don't buy it, they will loan it to you for free. Then plug it in and follow instructions. Get the auto store to tell you how to set up the analyzer for your specific car, and ask them how to do it. They'll probably know.

Sounds like you need a new transmission.
