I just recently bought my car, and when it is in park, it idles at 1200 RPM, but as soon as I put it in drive, it drops to 800 RPM. Once I start driving, it drives well, but when I have to stop at red lights, the RPM drops again, and it starts to stutter (doesn't stall). What could cause this problem, and how do I fix it?

You have a vacuum leak. Check all your vacuum lines for disconnected, frayed, or broken hose.
