I have a 98 GST and have been having idleing problems. When I start it it wants to die and I have to hold the rpms at 2000 for a minute or so and then it will rev up a bit by itself and idle fine after that at around 750 rpms. I have changed my plugs, wires, alternator, tps, and idle air control valve and it is still having issues. I have also tested my coil pack. I have fixed most boost leaks but still have to double check them all. Also at times it will start misfiring on cylinder 3 and almost sounds like a subaru. I have sense parked it but sometimes when I start it it will not misfire until I actually drive it for a bit. I'll try to answer all questions as soon as possible I just want to get it running perfect. Also I have checked timing and it was dead on.

Here is a new log. It idles better but it still sounds like a subaru when i rev it up a bit. Its getting spark and fuel and starts fine just doesn't sound right and doesn't have much power so its undriveable. I'd like to get suggestions before taking it to a shop :notgood:
