Ok this is a follow up on the idle problems I have been having.

Here is an audio clip of what my idle sounds like when I turn on the car. It only lasts for a few minutes then the car will idle pretty normally.

some info:

new plugs, wires, vacuum lines.

checked the coil = ok

ran the fuel out, replaced with premium, with injector cleaner.= no change.

my vacuum gauge is reading= 14-15hg/in at idle but I am also a mile high(denver)

I also no codes and I have datalogged the car, and it looks pretty normal to me??
I can provide the log if anyone wants to look at it.

Any help would greatly be appreciated as I am sitting on my UDP and AEM cam gears, but I dont want to put them on until i get this idle shite fixed.

Points for any suggestions.

Could your Idle Air Controller (IAC) be going bad? Btw no pts needed, trying to help fellow 2gnters. I believe an 8mm socket is needed to take off the two bolts.

do you still have the EGR system in
If so thats my guess is a sticking valve, mine did the same thing the valve was sticking open a bit and when it warmed up maybe the gunk warmed up and let the valve close. I just blocked off the egr and mine stopped doing that
