this is probably a common DSM problem,and i have searched but didnt really find anything that sounds like this..

when starting the car when the motor is warm,it idles very low and almost wants to stall,i can drive normal and then its fine. car runs perfect anytime else. just when i go somewhere shut it off,do whatever,then start it back up when warm,it idles very low.what does this sound like? thanks
 
Well tonight in fact I found that my throttle body did not have a good ground so I ran a ground strap from the screw on top of the throttle body to the firewall. The throttle closed switch needs a good ground the ecu can read or it wont idle worth a crapola. Shes fine now. Sean

My car does the EXACT same thing...but not all the time. And sometimes, it will even shut off! It's kinda embarrassing and annoying. I heard it could be the ICS or something.
