Default Wierd beeping sound on my new GT

I just bought a 94 GT 5 speed and for some reason, everytime you first start up the car, you get this beeping sound that goes on for like 2 minutes. Doors are closed, seat belts are on, can't figure out what the heck it is. Also, when you first start it and let it idle, it surges a little and wants to die, once you start driving it everything is fine, just when you first start it up. My guess is it could use a good tune up (which I'm doing this weekend) but I wanted to get your inputs. Thanks!

if your "fast eclispe" is nearby, the engine would be wanting to die because it is in close vicinity to garbage.

Is the airbag light on when it beeps? If yes you need the airbag serviced. If thats not it then i have no idea.

ABS acting up?

No, no lights are on when it beeps. It's wierd, I can't figure it out. The Eclipse was sold 2 years ago btw. Dunno why everyone hates them here so much. They're one of the few respectable imports around.
