Weird idling - 3/7/2008 7:31:57 AM

when i start my car after it has been running like say i drive home and then shut it off and go back out an hour or so later, the initial start up is kinda strange. It'll run extremely rough for the first 10 seconds, the rpms will jump and fall and it sounds like its gonna stall, then it all levels out. It has been doing this for 2 days now, but only after it has already been running previously. So basically it does it everytime i start the car except for the first start of the day.....so maybe it has something to do with being warmed up already? Thanks for any input if anybody knows wat it might be.

Well to let you know my car is better but not fixed. I dont have a SES light anymore I was getting a multi cyl misfire code before. seems almost like a VAC leak now. the cars idle bounces once or twice it is normal most of the time and it stalled out once when I put the car in park

Not that I am aware however the spyder I own has the highest milage of any V6 3g ive ever had which is at about 83k now, my other spyder only has 45k when I traded it and my GS had 102k when I sold that but it was a POS and doesnt count cause everything was broken on that car
