Default Low RPM when starting engine. Have to press gas at start.

Once in a while I have to press the gas to give the Car power to start the car. If I don't do that, the Car will shut off and not start. It's like the RPM drop right after starting the Car.

Anyone know what's wrong? Any solutions to fix this problem.

Beg/borrow/buy an OBD code reader and see if any DTCs have been thrown. You probably are due for a good cleaning of the MAFs (easy DIY).

Need to clean your throttle bodies, I had the same problem and it made a world of difference.
