Default My car bogs down after first ~15 seconds after start up...

When I first start my car, and I give it gas... the RPMs go down and the car bogs back. Where should I start looking first? Only happens when its first started.

my car did the exact same thing. an i got a 2002 t/a. i opened the hood an the tube coming from throttle body going to the lid was disconnected from the throttle body sign. hopefully yours will be something simple like that.

Why would you rev the engine right after startup? That's a no no!

I don't rev the engine. I said giving
gas, as in accelerating (normal acceleration). If the car is in first gear, and I try to accelerate to 5-10mph the Rpms drop and the car drops back.
