I will take some of that back. I changed the oil since then RP 20w50

I just bumped my idle up to 3k so when I start it. It revs up to 3k holds a few seconds and dies off.

I think it has to do with coolant or hot start. I flushed the system and it ran fine got warm and all I let fresh water run in then turned it off and flushed the new nasty stuff out of rad. Car runs for 2 seconds now so I will let it cool and see what happens since i need to go to auto parts store and get a new thermostat gasket and thermostat.
