1 Answer

Your radiator has a leak into the transmission cooler. Can't say what the idle issue is from but install a new radiator and change the ATF and filter in the trans and drive it a few miles and change it again. Maybe even do that another time or two until the fluid looks perfect. How about more information on the idle problem?
