Almost dies after start?
Here's my problem...
99% of the time, when I start the car, it starts and then goes down to about 500-750 rpms like it should. Then, sometimes after I start it, when it idles down, it get so low it almost stalls. I have has actually stalled,but it gets pretty close. What could be causing it? It happened twice yesterday.

Possibly a faulty TPS sensor. Hard to say really. Is it throwing a check engine light or service engine soon light?
