    01 max stalling out on startup?? help

    HI, my 01 max SE (manual tranny) with 25,000 miles on it has been giving me
    problems at startup. sometimes when I start it it will feel like it's gonna
    stall, unless I push the gas, then I can save it sometimes. othertimes I"ll
    start it the engine will start and then just stall out. then sometimes it
    starts just fine. (I'd say about 50% of the time it starts no problem) also the
    other day when I started it (wasn't any colder out than usualy stil like 75
    degrees out) it started and the car was kind of shaking, and it was idling
    really high (around 1500 RPM's). this was when I had the clutch completly
    pushed to the floor. this is the onyl real problem I've had with the car, but
    it seems ot be getting consistantly worse and teh high RPM idle is a new thing
    (it hasn't done it since, just that once) I change my oil every 3,000 miles
    (give or take a few hundred or so). any idea what else it could be? I wouldn't
    think spark plugs or wires at this stage. any ideas of what it coudl be? anyone
    have this problem before? thanks a lot!

    Same issue here with my '98. I notice it more often now. Particulary
    when I start in the morning and it is really cold. (Usually it is
    around 60 outside, and I don't garage the car right now.)

    It will start, then the RPM's will drop to below 1000 and eventually
    kick back up.

    This morning it even stalled.

    Ideas?

    Oh, and a new fuel filter won't hurt. My idle would dip low sometimes
    and changing FFs helped a lot.

    I thought of that too, except - in my instance - I had the FF changed in
    June.

    Other ideas? Could it be a bad unit?
