NY Yet again another idle issue.

You guys probably think im obsessed about idle now. This car acts differently everyday but one thing i do notice is that once the car is warmed up the idle is solid and very good. Today i started her up and as soon as i started the car the idle went down and the car shut off. Turned it on again and revved her for a bit and then drove for a couple of minutes. After i finished driving her i just pulled over and noticed that the idle is just perfect. Ugh so my final question is. this is normal right?

The bad idle at cold start is probably due to your injectors leaking a bit when shut down, then when you start it up it is a bit flooded. Once it is cleared out it will idle good. Having your injectors serviced will solve this.

You can try making sure the tps is adjusted properly. all you need is a multimeter. read up on threads around here, there are plenty. Use the voltage method and set to 1v by back probing the tps, make sure the car is fully warmed up. a tps out of adjustment will also definetly cause a funky idle.
