edmonton,
Okay, it's getting warmer again outside and this weird issue came up lately with my 91 talon Tsi AWD. During the winter months, my car started EVERY time even in temperatures near -50 celsius, but now when I run my car and then do my usual cycle of letting the turbo cool off if I boost a lot before turning it off, then when I come back and try to turn my engine on again for the first time (while it is still warm), it does this weird thing where it wants to die/idles really low and I have to apply constant gas for a few seconds just so it wouldnt stall... but then after that, no more problems ever for the rest of the day. I can turn off my engine warm again after that then start it, and it will fire up normally like it should, it's ALWAYS just the first "try" in the day of re-firing up a warm engine that it wants to die on me, and it's happened about 3 days in a row now... any ideas what could cause and help fix this?
 
perfectly fine and stable just like it does any other time.. its just that one time when it first becomes warm and I try to restart it that it wants to die
