Sometimes when I go out to start my 1Gb 2.0 N/T it will start then stutter, the RPMS will be below 1,000 and it will almost die unless you press on the gas.

Anyone know what the prob is? Checked out my Airfilter and assembly. could it be a Fuel system related problem, if so what most likely in the fuel system? or a computer problem?? TIA! :talon:
 
Does it only do it when cold? If it's fine after it warms up, it's probably your FIAV.

Yes it does it only when cold, I apologize for my ignorance but what is FIAV?? Thanks. :thumb: :talon:
 
Fast Idle Air Valve. It's what makes your car idle higher when it's cold. It's a plate located on the throttle body with two coolant lines attached.
