Starts at high idle

Hey, I'm getting so sick of my car so please help out if you can.

The car in a cold start, starts really rough and then idles at 1500 untill it slowly warms up and idles down. Right after start up, if you press on the peddle it will bog down then rev up. What could cause this? I'm so sick of my car running like ****.

Hm, that sounds almost exactly what's going on with mine ever since I did the Z31T ECU/MAF conversion. Doesn't happen all the time to me though, but mainly when it's a cold start.

In my case, if it is a vacuum leak, I haven't seen anything out of place.
