I only drive my 03 about once a month but in the past few months i noticed that when i turn it on from a cold start the idle bounces from high to low every 15-30 seconds. The car runs fine and i don't here any wierd noises either. The idle bounce does eventually go away.
Should i take it in to a shop to get looked at?
Here's a list of my mods in case it helps
2.93 Blower pulley
100mm idler pulley
Diablo Chip Tune
Catbacks
& heat exhanger

i got high miles..turned 230,000 yesterday and all of my parts are still stock except the throttlebody itself was changed at 70k cause the shaft sticks,,, maybe try cleaning air filter and maf..that might do it,,if you have a hand held tuner you can read what you electronics are doing and that will also help to fing problem...vacuum leaks also are common,,,is you service engine lite on?
