Hi what's up guys. I have a 03 tl type s. The car runs fine when I start it up and then about 1 minute after I start it it starts to surge up and down at idle. Any suggestions? Thanks

Try adding some anti-freeze first. We seldomly remember that coolant flowing through the IACV is what controls our idle. If there's air bubbles, it'll surge.
