Low Idle when hot

Hi Guys,

When my FD has been for a long drive, then parked, I try to drive again, I get a low/ruff idle.......

Normally the idle is normal and smooth.

Any idea where to start?

Yeah. Start by giving us more information...

Mileage? Has there been any recent engine work done? Have you messed with anything in the engine bay? How long has is been since it started doing this?

Start checking for vacuum leaks. If possible provide more details.

The car has 30,000miles, its a 2001 JDM Series 8, It has been doing it pretty much ever since ive owned the car (which is only a few weeks).

The car is 100% stock.

I have replaced all vac lines and also changed the charge control solenoid as I was having some boost issues. (the problem existed before I changed lines, so not related).

Car drives well and has plenty of power, just when hot started gets a low idle.
