Hi there,

The past four times after starting the engine for the very first time (after being off all night..), and is Not related to outside temperature.

As soon as you crank the starter, the engine comes to life with high RPM's but after five or so seconds the idle drops below 500 RPM
and it seems that the engine will stall but does not (yet..) and if you touch the gas pedal for a moment, the engine stays at the normal
idle, even after releasing the gas pedal, this Only happens once when the engine is stone cold, afterwards it will start and idle normally.

Any comments on what to check for would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Regards!

Have you ever serviced your pcv system? Give you car the glove test and see if you have positive crank pressure. Take off the oil fill cap while running and put a rubber glove over it, it shouldn't inflate, but rather get sucked towards the vent.

 

Hello DIngus, I am sorry for the late reply but was out of town on a business trip and forgot to follow up on my question, I will try the rubber glove test and will advise, Thank you!
