OKay on cold starts my engine wont start unless i tap the gas pedal a little bit in then it starts... but as it starts.. the idle is all screwing and then it stalls out... soI start it again and yes with the gas pedal and then the idle will catch itself and stay running. I had this problem before, and it was the idle air control valve once before... so I thought maybe okay the stupid IACV went bed again... So i replaced it again and it didn't fix the problem, so i'm lost, any idea's? it only does this when the engine is on a cold start, once i warm the engine up and shut her down and wait 2 minutes to start it again, it'll start and act fine, it's only on the cold starts, and it was not the idle air control valve like it was before, this time its somethng different. What could it be???

On my truck there was a temperature sensor that would idle the car up when it was cold. That went bad and it was doing the same exact thing. Check into that first.

never mind about the temp sensor.. i found a problem... injector 2 is leaking up at the bushing, not the o-rings.. so i gotta head up to the dealership and get the new bushing.
