Starting and Idle issues

[YesA2Valve]

My car will start then kill itself for the first couple tries and around the third or fourth it will crank up but the idle will surge. I also have hardly any pedal response after it cranks up after a cold start but then it will be fine after it warms up. Im assuming that the surging is from a vacuum leak which i will check for, but could there be a fuel issue too?

what dose it idle at when running

Around 700 is what it should be but when surging it will drop all the way down to 400

Try adjusting the idle on the throttle body
See if that helps
Keep count of the turns turning clock wise
Incase you need to put it back
But I think you to low idle

Aim for 720 to 740 on tack

did you make any changes on the car recently or did it just start having issues? If it just started having issues then I would not touch the throttle stop as it did not just suddenly change for no reason. If you have made some changes to the motor recently it could be dealing with that and I would start there.

I adjust it a bit and now it’s idling fine still doesn’t start first crank

The starting problem started a while back and I changed the fuel filter like 3 months ago. After that I changed the ignition module after that went out. The most recent thing I did was the iac so now idles fine but won’t cranks on first try

Plugs cap rotor

is the check engine light on? Have you tried to pull any codes? IF ya have tried you might have discovered the obd2 port does nothing on the gt's

Cap a rotor today, spark plugs couple months ago. I changed my base idle and it will crank first time but will star to surge after running a few minutes.

The check engine light only comes on after it running for a bit and it was for the pcv but there is no pcv and the line for it is plugged

plugs huh? Did you take the time to compare the old plug to the new one to make sure they gave you the right ones? I personally had the parts guy grab the wrong plugs for me and they had me chasing my tail for months at one point because of this. It also would not be a bad idea to take a look at the end and see how it looks to get an idea of what is going on in the motor(rich/lean/oil in cylinder/ect) and it only takes a minute to get to #5 or 6 on the drivers side.
