This morning

Lately whenever I go I out to my car in the morning I start it up, put it in reverse and it acts like it wants to die but it doesnt. It stutters but it doesnt die. But when I get out of school it doesnt do that at all, it just starts right up with no problem. Does anyone know why? Could I just be that it sits for a long time out in the cold?

get some TB cleaner, and shoot it down in your idle screw hole, also remove the 3 screws for the iacv motor and pull that off, and spray the valve and clean it with a cloth, and spray some down in the valvehole and stuff, and if you can fit a tiny toothbrush in there you can try and clean that off. wipe off the valve and reinstall it and put the idle screw back in but don't tighten it much, start the car, (*)warm it up, turn the ECM screw clockwise to disable the iacv function, tighten the idle screw until your idle hits 750 with EVERYTHING TURNED OFF, then turn that ECM screw counterclockwise to reactivate your iacv.

edit: added "(*) warm it up"

Just remove the 3 screws that hold the stepper motor in place and clean the main valve and seat. Takes about 20 mins.
