Default What's Up With My Idle?
08 GT 211,000 miles. Cold startup from sitting overnight, idles normally and no stumble. Drive 60 miles to work, and it sits for the next 8-9 hrs. Startup to go home and the idle will fluctuate up and down for few seconds and stumbles when beginning my drive. Once fully warm, its fine. Same thing everyday. I've been told emission purge valve/s??

It's probably due to a dirty throttle body so clean it thoroughly between the blades and the bores.
