Angry Problem when I start the car in the morning

Whenever I start my car in the morning it just dies, I start it about 3 times and only on the 3rd attempt it fires up, the idle bounces up and down for about 30 seconds and then its stable. Any idea what the problem is?

Sounds like it could be a fuel filter.

I'm with AlNY93R1... When was the last time you changed the fuel filter??
Also, when was the last time you changed your spark plugs??
You might have a vacuum leak... check all your hoses...

There are a number of things that could be happening. My car use to do that. Turned out to be the plugs. Havne't changed them in 6K... Every other oil change is new plugs!

lates,

Fuel filter and plugs were changed 1500 km's ago. So I doubt its that..

is the accel warm up system intact? if the solenoid is removed and a resistor is in there the ecu does not know. it still dumps fuel like it has the valve open, letting in more air. or the valve may be stuck closed...

I would say that it isn't getting enough gas.
Since you say the plugs and fuel filter are OK, that leaves the O2 sensor or TPS.

I had the same problem with my rx7, it will most likely be carbon your spark plugs or bad leads i would upgrade them to HKS spark plugs. BUT CLEAN THEM UP FIRST before getting new ones to see if that was the problem.

dont **** yourself like i did its usally sumet small half the time
