I have had the most unreasonable luck lately. Sometimes when i start my car, itll idle for a second and then die. I have a 92 laser RS AWD. I have no clue where to begin looking?

yeah if i idle it manually with the throttle, i will do it for a few seconds and then go back to a normal idle.

You say it does it sometimes? Does it do it only when it's cold, or when it's warm after you've been driving it. Or is it just random? Have you checked the battery or alternator?

sounds like you need that fast idle valve plate. If that is the problem, you can get that from mike or josh at qpr for like 25 bux? My buddy had that SAME problem, got the plate and it completely fixed that problem.
