When ever I start the car, it barley runs. Surges,then drops in idle. NOT the IAC motor. Even after it warms, when I let off the gas, very bad backfireing. If I take it to like 6,000 rpms, car is fine. This all happens when the car is cold. Thanks guys.

I'll make this easier to understand.

1.) Start car in morning. Surges, then the rpms drop and so on.
2.) After I let it warm up. The suging stops but the r's still want to drop and if I push the cluch in, BOOM. Backfiring.The higher the rpm, louder the backfire.
3.) Will continue to backfire until I run it all the way through the r's. Then usually, if the temp gauge is half way (normal), she runs fine til the next day.

your sure its not the iac right? because that would explain the dying when cold, but not the backfiring. Does it feel like your engine is missing? Did this start recently after doing a mod?
