I don't understand it and i don't know what causes it but sometimes right when i start my car up after i drove it recently it idles really low. Almost to the point where it dies but it never dies. I have a turbo timer so the car cools off after i drive it hard but its just strange. It does it alot recently but i just don't care b/c it goes away after i drive for a minute or so. I can also hear the something from the tranny squeeling a bit when the rpm's get to about 300-400. Never dies so what could be the problem and the fix????
 
Is it auto or manual?

Try pushing in on the clutch is there a change? have you checked the ISC when it is hot? try adjusting the biss a bit. (set the idle with the plug grounded)
 
its manual. When i push in the clutch nothing changes. This only happens once i awhile. 90% of the time my idle is fine but like i said if i drive then have it parked for up to an hour and start her back up then the idle is low sometimes. It almost seems like a fuel problem but i'm not sure.
