#4889, "car won't idle after start..."


          

So I have my car done now...and i've been driving it for about 3 days... but every time i start it, it won't idle, i have to give it a little gas for about 30-60 secs then it idles fine...otherwise it idles really rough, then dies.
any thoughts?

thanks

Timing? Maybe the Throttle Position Sensor? Get that checked. Doesn't sound too good.

are u throwing any error codes, like a 25? I had that problem a few days ago. Take off your intake pipe, spray some TB cleaner up in there and make sure you clean the TB flapper walls and put it all together and start it up. See if that helps.
