I've had this problem several times, but not everyday, in the morning, or when the car is cold and I start the car, I notice that it wont go over 600 or 700 RPMS, It just goes from 700 to 300 over and over and in some cases the car dies.

When it does I just start it again and done, it keeps jumping from 700 to 300 sometimes less but wont die again. Usually this takes about 5 or 10 minutes. ( I think it has something to do with the car being cold ) :confused: But anyway this is not normal.

Id like to have any advices on what would be the cause.

I don't know why im starting to think this might be something serious :cry:
 
Check th FIAV, fast idle air valve. It's suppose to keep idle higher during cold start until car reaches operating temperature.
 
How can I check that ? Is there anything I should look for on my engine, or Ill have to scan ?

The FIAV is located at the tb, I have a 1g so I will have to look it up in your service manual.
