Well I finally solved my ATCU problem now my car shifts normal again. So god willing another one should come up immediately.

When I start my car even when its warmed up, It will rev at like 500 and want to die out. If I hit the gas there is no responce and it drops from 500 to 250-300 and starts to do the dying shake.

It will not stall or anything but after 10 seconds or so it will be normal. This happens every time I start the car. Anyone know? Thanks in advance.

The genious that was helping me work on my car, pulled the connector that goes to the MAF while the car was running and it stalled. MAF is the black square thing located by the intake manifold right.

I unclipped it and used some force when I clipped it back in. Runs like new again. Thanks.

nevermind, car starts normal everything works good. when I hit the gas after I start it, it wants to stall.. Maybe bad gas?
