Last week I started noticing this problem and it happened again today.
Scenario, been driving around for maybe 30 mins or so, not on the highway but not in total stop and go traffic either ( a few back roads, a few stop lights). Make a stop for about 15 minutes or so. Get in car and start it, starts, goes up to say 1500 rpms than drops quick and stalls. I restart again, giving it gas this time to avoid a stall. The whole time it's making this moaning sound (moosing?) After feathering the gas I bit I get it into revere and roll off, first stop sign I hit, the car stalls. Have to throw it into drive to re-start of course, and keep some gas to avoid a stall, so of course this isn't doing the tranny any good. The moaning goes away after a few minutes as does the problem? Any ideas? The spark plugs are bit old but I doubt that it has anything to do with this
