When I start my car, the idle is very rough, sounds like it wants to stall, seems to run fine (at least it did two days ago) I haven't ran it today. What could I check for?

    If this is your 1995 GLT, you could check your codes to see if any are pending. Are you having a hard time starting the engine? Like 10-15 second cranks? Does the temp gauge get to normal after a mile or two? When was the last time the throttle body and idle control cleaned?
