Ok pretty much...when you start the car...wait 20-30 seconds for it to warm up or w/e, then gently tap the gas like 1-2mm. On my 6thgen as soon as i do that the rpms jump slightly then drop wayyyy lowww and cause the car to shudder then get up again. If i floor it in Neutral the rpms will rev up high and sometimes they'll drop so low that the car will turn off. Does this happen to any1 and any1 have any idea why its happening...im thinking maybe its related to my CEL that came on regarding running to lean.

My car will do this is if I rev it a bit with the clutch in/neutral.. it's almost like the IACV can't compensate fast enough, i wouldnt worry too much though.
