My idle is seemingly bogging down and the car dies when I start it up from rest sometimes. This seems to only be happening when I first start up my car and not when I'm driving around. It started happening after I got a little hard on the gas down my street then it just died when I stopped. I checked to see if the hoses are all hooked up and they are fine. My turbo is spooling and holding boost very well still. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Think it may be my ISC going out on me? Even an O2 sensor? I'm taking it into the shop on Monday for a bunch of changes and thought I'd go in w/ some ideas. Thanks.
 
I got it stock just about two weeks ago and I'm going to keep it circ. I'm getting all of my filters changed as preventative maintainence so we'll see after that. It's weird because I was driving just a few hours ago and everything was fine again. Strange.
