You may have heard this before, but I will suggest you clean the idle solenoid. If it is sticking it will cause warm idle problems and will stall the engine with automatic transmission. If you have manual transmission you normally press the clutch and can save engine from stalling, it is not easy done with automatic. When the engine is cold the idle solenoid will need to be fairly closed anyway and even if is sticking will not cause that much problems because you need a richer mixture to run at idle when cold. Cleaning the solenoid will not harm anyway. Also while at it inspect all the vacuum lines, there are quite a few of them, and the rubber can be very prone to bracking. The vacuum lines if faulty will cause loss of power at idle which affect transmission operation. Hopes this helps.
