2009 Nissan Altima Rough Idle

I have a 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5..Just recently it started idling very rough when in drive at low rpm, like when stopped in traffic or at a light. The problem is not there when car is in Park, Neutral, or Reverse.
Is this a sign that the throttle position is going bad ?
Thanks - Tom

No, not really. Is there any check engine light coming on ever?

Could be an engine mount grounding out.

Had the codes read.."P0744" - "Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Intermittent"
Took it to two diferent places, got the same code both times.
But - I drove the car at least 40 miles today, in heavy traffic - and it ran great, no rough idle, my wife drove it home from work,
and the symptoms are gone..
Any idea's ?? Thanks in advance..

That code has nothing to do with engine operation. It's an overdrive code for the transmission.

An 09 is still fairly new but depending on the mileage, if it's at or over 100k it might be a good idea to rule out hardened motor mounts as a problem...
Just jack up the engine with a floor jack & block of wood, just enough to get the engine off the mounts, don't pick up the car this way. If the rough idle problem goes away with the engine supported then you have some bad motor mounts....
