Default just put in giac.....

just wondering if anyone else had this too..i put in the giac ecu and when i turn the car on it struggles to idle for a few seconds before idling, and when i stop it does it abit too..will this go away, or is it something with the ecu. i bought the ecu already chipped seperately, so i still have my stock one if need be.

Have you done a throttle body alignment? Please search the forums if you don't know how to do it.

i did the whole undo the battery for ten minutes..then turned the ignition key to on, after i hooked battery back up, for 5 minutes and it still idles funny...if it goes away while driving then no biggie..i just dont want the car to die while im driving on the freeway or at a stop light..
