Ok guys I REALLY need your help; after the guy at work adjusted my RPMs I idle fine, when I come to a stop my RPM's do not drop anymore and I idle at the third white line, the one before the "1". BUT, whenever I shut off my car it shakes a bit more than usual. Is this normal?

Nope. It stopped coming up.

And my car just shut off on me after work, I was driving and noticed my car was "lagging", it didn't feel right, after a block or two it shut off, then turned right back on. Now it's not "lagging" anymore. wtf!!!

Your torque converter has to unlock when you come to a stop just like a clutch. If it doesnt then yeah it stalls out the motor. It is a auto right?

The code will still be in the ecu. Run the code, report back.

Yes would be torque converter going out. But do a stall test: Hold the brake and then wide open throttle.for a few seconds. should stall around 2600-2400rpm. Anything way below that means converter is locked up.(bad)

MAJOR update:

So I called the guy who said he replaced my Main Relay the first time and he said "No, I replaced the WIRE, not the actual plug."

W...T...F....

So could it still be a faulty Main Relay itself??? Not the wire?
