When I start my truck I am not getting the usual high rpm warm up. The rpms go up when I start it then instantly drop to around 500. I am having an issue with rough idle as well. Like at stop lights and in park. I found lots on rough idle in search almost to much. Any one have any ideas what may be causing this? Are they related? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
 
I will put that on my list of things to check also vacuum leaks.
 
The intake hose I have on there is definitely not stock. It looks like a accordion.
 
So do you guys think that the rough idle and weird start are related?
 
possible, does one always happen when the other does? maybe you have an egr that's stuck open a bit or a lot a bit
 
Did you disconnect the battery recently? The computers take a bit to remember idle RPMs etc, like 5-10 starts.
 
I just fiddling with the intake hose and the problem is gone. I was just moving it around to see if I had any cracks or anything. I will probably end up replacing it. They were definitely related both problems gone. Thanks for the suggestions.

^ This. Everytime i disconnect the battery for an extended period I get a high idle on the first restart.
