stalls after startup, only one time, then runs fine

lately, when i start the FD i've been having this weird problem. the first time i "come down of the rpms", like pushing in the clutch and coming to a stop, my car wants to stall, sometimes it does, sometimes i can catch it with the throttle. i can start it right back up when it does and after that, it runs fine until the next day that i drive it. what the heck could be causing this?

mods: PFC, Apex'i Power Intake, 3" DP, RB dual tip cat-back, PFS plug wires

i just had all of my vacuum lines, plug wires, and plugs replaced by PF Supercars less than 1.5k miles ago.

I have the same problem, if I do not drive my car for a few days the first time that I do start it up it wants to stall. Normaly if I try to pull it out of the garage it will cut off. The only way that I can get it not to do it, is to let the car idle for a few minutes before I drive it. I would also like to know what causes this.

see, its funny that you say that, because i've only recently been letting the car sit for days at a time between drives. i wonder if its something weird with fuel evaporating from the lines or something while it sits... or something weird like that.

any help out there???

I assuming you mean the car is still cold when it happens. Check to see if the dashpot is adjusted and operating properly. And/or adjust the water temp correction in the PFC for temp the car is stalling at.
