idoling problem

i just got the oil changed and drove it home everything was fine. I come out about 5 hours later and the car doesnt even idol. I try to start it and on about the 8 try it idols normal. I shut it off and it doesn't start but then a couple more trys and it idols very low and the engine light pops up. Any ideas what this could be?

what does the code read?
and sounds like you got a massive leak. Did one of the IC coupling fall off?

From all your problems (you start nothing but problem threads), it sounds like you bought a total POS used Evo, and since you have no clue about anything relating to basic maintenance, you are the poster child for why people should NOT buy used Evos. I'd sell it back as soon as possible and get a new one...

Just a reminder, the car also uses premium fuel.
