every time i start the car up the idle seems to be really rough and then the car just dies. if i drive it around for a few minutes, its perfectly fine, the needle barely moves. even if i turn the car off and turn it right back on it goes back to the same thing.
 
I'll say it again

ecu caps.



replace them now. Or you will be replacing your whole ecu
 
i think you just might be right i had the same problem,and if you know what youre doing its a walk in the park,well i guess im lucky casue my dad is a master mechanic.good luck let us know what you learned and if thats it.
