ok i was just wondering what you guys think is wrong with my car (97 n/t) when i go to start my car it starts up really shitty, its putts up to like 1200rpms and die's do it about 6 times before the car starts running but when its just started and i drive rpms drop to like 200-300rpms almost dieing out unless i rev it back up. Once the car is warm is runs pefect and idle's at 800 perfect. I have a bored out throttle body to 52mm and a cold air intake, i also drive on a quater tank of gas for optimal speed most the time. :rolleyes:

I have replaced my fuel filter and still have teh same problem, when i turn the car on you can hear the gas pump going, what im going to do is get fuel injector cleaner and see if that helps, if that dont work i was proble gonna buy a walbro fuel pump. But do you guys know what is happening ??? Thanks for the help
 
I've got a 96 rs and when i first got it i had a similar problem to what you've got since then i've been spending the extra 2 bucks or so a week on 93 octane and it rarely happens any more, maybe once every couple months, a little more in the winter, but it wont stall the RPM's just drop real low when i push in the clutch or on startup

btw its cool to see someone else from sussex on here :dsm:
