Hey all, sorry to add to the problem post list but here it is.
1996 Suzuki Esteem, 1.6L, automatic
The problem: When put in gear, either D or R, the rpm’s drop. Used live data and found that it idles in neutral and park around 800-1000 and in D and R it drops to 450 and slowly climbs back up. When returned to P or N from the others it spiked to 1200rpm only once. I can tell you that it stalls out sometimes, other times it just idles rough. Reverse tends to be the rougher idle of the two. I can also say, with some hesitation, that before it use to happen when the car was warmed up. Hope ya’ll could help me out. Thanks for reading!
Other details: Fuel injected, has code P0400 for some time now (I think it’s irrelevant).

Gladf it’s fixed.
You did say that the EGR code had nothing to do with the idle, but you had no evidence to back that statement up except that it hadn’t caused this problem before.
We had good cause to think that the EGR was responsible.
If we had assumed the EGR had nothing to do with it, that would not be a logical diagnostic procedure.
