This just started yesterday. I'll start the car up and it stutters and the idle is at around 600 rpm.. I'll let it sit for a minute, give it a little gas at idle and then the idle is normal. The car runs just fine after a minute of starting it. When I go WOT it runs just fine. I havent done anything to the car in over a yr. I just replaced the plugs today thinking it would fix the problem but it didnt. My hoses seem ok and my air filter is clean.

Weird.. Like I stated.. it only stutters at start up and then its fine. Even if I drive the car around for a while and turn it off for a few mins, it'll stutter at startup for a min... any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!!

2g Eclipse GST 168k miles.. 16g, 550cc injectors, K&N, HKS Super Dragger Exhaust.
 
Yes!! All fixed.. I was wiggling around all the connectors and once I got my hand on the MAF connector, it immediately idled normal. I took out the connector and cleaned both ends. snapped it on tight and whala.. no more low idle. Thanks for the help guys!
