My car idles up and down when I first start it up?

Try servicing your FITV (fast idle thermo valve) and IACV (idle air control valve) with throttle body cleaner. It may be necessary to remove these valves to clean them properly.

If this doesn't solve your problem, it is possible that one or both of these valves are acting up.
