    Rough Start

    Did some looking around, but couldn't find anything.
    When I try to start my car it'll just crank until I pump the gas a couple times. After it starts it'll idle at 600 for about 5-10 mins of driving before it idles more towards 1000 and stays steady. I was thinking a couple things, either the idle was off or the fuel pump/filter needs to be changed. I just wanted to get some input before buying things that aren't needed.

    A fuel system problem is a possibility, which you can diagnose via the tests in the Bentley manual. But my first suspicion would be intake leaks, which are best diagnosed by having a smoke test run on the intake.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      Took off my ICV to clean it and see if that would help out at all and discovered that the PO stuck a penny in one of the hoses and had it completely blocked off. The ICV is shot so I'm gonna get a new one sometime down the road, just adjusted the throttle cable a bit, works for now.
