Engine will start fine. It will run for about 15 seconds at high idle and then idle down and run rough and die. When I keep trying revving engine and the warms up some it will run like a new truck. At first I thought it was an EGR valve problem and replaced it. Aso checked for vacuum hose leaks. Any suggestions?

If it won't idle normally after it's warm, check the idle air control valve, it's bolted to the side of the throttle body.
