Help Please
Ok Last night i went to my girlfriends house, she leave 2 min. away, and my car started fine and ran fine. Then went in her house for 30 sec. we get ready to leave and my car starts but it is idoling at 400 rpm. So i turn it off and start it again and it does the same thing so i put it in gear and it dies. So i start it again and i give it some gas, there is not hesitaion what so ever. So i bring the idol up to about a 1000rpm and put it in gear and go to my house and get on it for a second and i seems fine it just doesnt want to idol.. Any ideas cause i am lost with this one.. Thanks so much..

I'd get it scanned, its hard to diagnose things over the computer without any details. With that being said, maybe try unplugging the maf and see if it has any effect on things. Have you driven through any large puddles lately? Rained a lot? Opti could be wet/shot

I would check both the IAC and the Throttle Position Sensor (only 2 sensors on throttle body). If it starts driving funny and idleing all over the place then i would guess TPS. Get it scanned and you should be able to tell. Good Luck!
