has any1 gone thru this? it happens often, i start the car in the morning and it dies, and then it starts after the second time. yesterday i had to drive it with the gas pedal and the brake when i came to the stop light. today it wouldn't start at all it sounded like if it was flooded. then my friend disconnected the vaccum line in the FPR and it started without a problem. to me this is weird. can any1 help me?

It's your IAC. I've experienced the same problem. I changed the IAC and it fixed the problem. The part will run you $45-$55.

Good Luck
