Push in the Clutch!!!j/k Is it a stick or auto???

ha, thanks, its an auto (

feel badly for me) i'm thinking it has something to do with the idle control, but it only does it when its from a cold start, if i drive it for awhile then start it and put it in gear, theres no problems

does the motor do the fast idle routine when it's cold? gregorio
