Default Start-up question.....

OK, Ive owned my EJ2 for about 15 months now. Ive owned Eclipse's, Mustang's, and even a Jeep before this. And none of my other cars ever did anything like this. Most of the time when I start my car (exspecailly when its cold), it sounds like someone is reving my car to about 1200 real quick and then releasing the gas. And it does that maybe 4 or 5 times. Does anyone else's car do that? Does anyone know why it does it and how to stop it?

lol - I hope that makes sense.

I just got done swapping a D16Z into the car and it still does it.
