Question Weird problem, please help!

Well it all started when I received a call from my stepmom, she informed me that my dad had fallen off a ladder, I quickly get in my car spool that turbo to the max and fly home. It turned out he was ok just a few scratches here and there. That very same day I go to my girls house for a few hours and let the car cool down, as Iam leaving I noticed the car tried to stall, witch I thought was weird because it had never done that before. I didn't pay much attention to it because I thought it would go away....well it didn't, infact if my car is cold I cant turn it on because it will just stall till it dies. I decided to get my car tuned not only to see if it could fix the problem but also to make more power. I got the car tuned by tamer (4WS Tuning) hes a great guy and really made a difference with my Evo. He made my idling problem a bit better but its still there.

Its really frustrating in the morning having to first step on the gas just a bit, then turn on the car, and then wait a minute or two.

Any ideas on what the problem may be? could a bad battery cause this? cause mine is really bad and needs replacing.

If you know your battery is bad, replace that first before you go messing with other stuff.

well you said you were driving really fast to get to your dad, but when you got there did you just turn off your car or did you just let it sit? because if you were driving really fast and wooting even for a short time frame you could have messed up your turbine or turbo itself.....that happened to a friend of mine's and he had to change out his turbo.
