Question Erratic Idling at cold start

So I have another question about the performance of Kim. When I first start her up she idles really crazy back and forth from 1800 to 1400 really fast. The previous owner said he replaced the O2 sensor but I dont know for sure. I had a similiar problem with a civic I used to have and the sensor was the answer in that case. So it does that but as soon as it gets 1/4 warm it will stop and be fine. One buddy said my coolant seals could be leaking and its the antifreeze being flushed out. I have no idea?????? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Coolant seals? Seriously? Smack your buddy.

It's the TPS (throttle position sensor). It could be out of adjustment, or in need of replacing. How to:http://howto.globalvicinity.com/gv_w...i=58&co=1&vi=1
