The engine replacement must have been done because of the emissions recall. I was in the same boat about 20k miles ago...my problem was the real bad idle also, it has died a couple times but I've had the compression tested and the motor is still extremely strong...so strong infact the techs can't figure out why I'm having so many issues.

Now does the idle drop real bad after a pretty decent drive and come to a stop? Cuz that is what mine does...I thought it might be from the new intake and exhaust I installed but it's been on long enough for the PCM to recalibrate the A/F ratios. So, I'm at a loss now too...well at least until I get the new flash and I'll go from there.
