If i'm driving for a while, and shut the car off, and come back to start her up again, the car will idle pretty low, and sound like it's gonna shut off. It actually did shut off once, but I started it again fine. Anybody have any input on this? Thanks.

IM THINKIN THAT ITS EITHER YOUR TPS OR YOUR IAC, DOES YOU CAR RUN FINE THOUGH EXCEPT WHEN IT IDLES, IF THATS THE CASE MAYBE IT COULD BE IAC (IDLE AIR CONTROLLER) OR IF THATS NOT IT IT COULD BE YOUR THROTTLE POSITION, THAT SCREW ON THE THROTTLE BODY, SO MAYBE JUST HAVE SOME ONE HELP U WITH THOSE 2 THINGS. THATS THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF. GOOD LUCK
PS:UR IAC IS IN BACK OF UR THROTTLE BODY ITS LIKE A BLACK SQUARISH PLASTIC PIECE.

There is no need to shout at him.
 
Haha. Well it isn't a major idle problem, it only happens after I drive my car for a while, shut it off, then turn it on again. The idle gets very low and sounds like it's gonna die, but it doesn't. Although it did die on me ONCE.
 
I believe thats typical if i'm not wrong. Its a hot start problem.. i think I read something about it on dsm talk.
