idle and cranking issues, help *please*
hey guys, well heres my issue. When cranking my car to start it the car will not idle unless i feather the gas pedal during the cranking. why is this? its annoying, i wish for a start by just turning the key.
also, when the car has sat overnight and it is very cold it starts right up and idles at around 900rpm, but say i drive to work and then 4 hours later i want to drive somewhere, it will start up and idle but it will idle very at around 500-600rpm, so i normally just hold the gas down a little bit to get it idling higher. sometimes when it will idle at 500-600rpm and then shut off and i have to repeat the process. any ideas?
once the car is warm she idles like a beaut, its just at start.
my mods are a haltech standalone, an s5 motor and basic performance upgrade, any help would be awesome, thanks

i plan on taking it in on a day off, i believe my alternator is going out as well, when i throw the car into nuetral when rolling to a stop the needle dips down to about 500 rpms then goes back up to around 700. The voltage meter drops with the idle as well.

These are normal symptoms with no idle control, either up your idle speed a little, find out if your ecu can control a BAC (many of them can), or learn to ignore it.
