Check your fast idling valve and fuel return valve. They could be faulty.

Dude, you may wanna check out your fuel regulator as well.

Hi pal,

Sorry for asking, where's the fast idling valve, fuel returned valve & fuel regulator located.

Is the clogged fuel filter can cause the similar problem.

you may want to check you mass air flow mix unit. Your air mixture may be out

Your prob sounds very similar to mine a couple of months ago. in my case it was a broken and therefore loose idling volume hose connector. It's located under the intake manifold - difficult to see visually but can feel with the hand if you know what you're looking for (I didn't know at that time). The connector is hard plastic with two clips sticking out. When one clip breaks (wear and tear, I think) the hose gets loose and no idle immediately after starting the engine. Good luck and regards, Faiz

I had the similar problem and just got it solved by cleaning all the relevant parts (Air - Intake + Idling).

Give a try and it costs a little.

WT, Yes, which the mech did when he replaced the hose connected. Typical 'small' problem but big headache! Cheers.
