Default Odd startup.

Any ideas of what this could be?

Sometimes i get in my bitchin black stang and start it up and she comes right to life.

Other times i start her up and the engine turns, she catches, then she almost dies, the rpms are way low, for about 1 second then she finally wakes up to a nice bitchin idle.

Only mods are FPIK CAI, Xpipe, and straights. (4:10's still not in )

Carbon build up possibly, everyone says seafoam it and everything will be better.

could be other things too........but apparently the foam helped DannyB and Springstang with that problem. I just did mine but I never had a problem to begin with.
