I just wanted to show you a video of a little problem I have been having. Due to me sounding like a complete idiot, I will add a description. Lol.

So During the day, and it just happened recently, this car would have an issue on starting up. It would fireup and get above 1000RPM and then just sink back down to 0Rpms and die out. but during night time I can get it to start up although it's rough it still stay on. leave it running for awhile to warm up and it's fine...I looked around couldn't find anything to my search. maybe the Vet's could but i couldn't LOL.

Oh yeah and don't worry about the Oil pressure gauge/Boost. they are wonky, and are messed up. so don't be worried about them.

Your a goof bro!!! Lol anyway what have you checked so far? Have you done a boost leak test? When's the last time you did a tune-up? Is the check engine light on? Does it drive normal and is the idle the only issue?
 
Haha my goofiness know's no bound's. Tune up yes. about 3weeks ago. Honestly i have checked nothing so far seeing as im not really smart! :D Start ups before all it did was the RPM's would go to 1000 but drop down not to where it would shut off. Now it's too the point where I had to start it 4 time's during the day, at first I thought man Im out of gas, but at night It will start but rough idle and it will tease to the point of thinking it was gonna die out. yet you leave it to warm up and it will be fine.

It drive's fine to my knowledge. Nothing out of ordinary.

Check engine light does not come one upon start up. but I do note that when I decided to do a Voluntary Rev. the CEL would pop on for a brief moment and go away.

as for the loud clanking in my car. That is my exhaust my friend said the last guy who owned the car when he put the new exhaust in the piping was covering another pipe like a puzzle. only tho it's not welded.
