Hey, I have a new problem with my 1g. I'll just lay it out right away. When I start my car it has trouble turning over. It takes 2-3 tries to make it even attempt to turn over. Then once it does it will idle at like 1700-2000rpm for a few seconds then drop down till the car shuts off. The only way I can drive it is if I give it some gas before it has a chance to drop and immediately start driving. Once on the road it will idle at stop lights no problem at like 900rpm. It just the initial start up that’s the problem. I have dsmlink if this can be helpful in finding the problem. Thanks for any advice, ask any questions if I needed I will check this post often. Thank you again
