Not starting right.

I have a 99 sc1. The car runs great, but it has a hard time starting up in
the morning. At a stop light the car will idle at 1000 rpms. Thats normal,
but when I turn the key for to start it, is when the trouble begins. It
only starts at about 300 -500 rpms and chuggs like it really wants to die.
After about 3 - 7 seconds it jumps up to 2000 and back down to 1000rpms
where it will stay. And occasionaly it will idle below 1000 rpms at a stop
light. Any suggestions?

 

Sounds like the coolant temp sensor. As well as a dirty throttle body....

 

exactly!!!
