When I start my car in the morning for the first time each day the car will idle high then it will come down as it warms up. Which is normal for every car, right? Well as I drive the car throughout the day everytime I go to start it the idle will go to about 2800rpm's then back down them up again a few more times. Sometime it will even shut off. It will do it even after I have been driving for 30 minutes, then turn it off and then start it five minutes later. Can anyone give me any ideas before I take my car to the dealer? hotrod90019 98 CSVT T-Red #4463
