I have a small problem... I figure Id thoroughly explain what happens and what I have already replaced so you guys can help me out with ease and better understanding of the situation.

Parts (that I can think of off hand)
Rebuilt engine from Toyota
Throttle body and seals
All parts listed below were replaced and are Toyota:
Timing Belt
Waterpump
IAC
TPS
and other miscellaneous seals, gaskets, bolts and such that come with performing those^ services.

OK... when I start my car in the morning the idle is at or slightly above 2k... it will gradually go down to 1.5k-1.25k... ok... <this isnt my problem so much...

Problem #1
As I take off everything sounds normal it runs great but if I have to stop for whatever reason the idle will do one of 2 things:

1. It will drop down to slightly above 1k
2. It will stay at 1.75k or 2k

Problem #2
When Im just driving around and I happen to let go of the gas when the rpm is around 1.75k or 2k the gas seems to stick... the car will literally stay at the speed it was on before I let go of the gas pedal and not go down... this problem is very random though, it doesnt happen all the time.

Problem #3
When I am stopped at a light, where ever, whatever this is irrelevant... but after driving it of course, it could be 5 minutes, 20, 30, whatever length a drive the car will actually sputter a bit and the rpms go so low that the car almost stalls out... this is another random thing and I notice it happens when and only when I have the clutch pedal down... in or out of gear

The car does have an exhaust leak from the muffler... its actually the flange itself that is rotted away... thats it, headers down are clean no holes.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Ideas and thoughts are welcome... any questions just ask me and Ill do my best to answer.

If you are wondering why I havent asked one of the Toyota techs to fix it yet it is because the gentlemen that does all of my work has been very busy with actual customer work AND he just left for vacation(lucky him)

poor me

Thanks in advance for you thoughts and input
