My G8 Galant stalls in morning first couple starts due to falling rpm, followed starts will kick off and good to go... What's going on with it...? Should i be worried...? BTW its a pertol engine with manual transmission.

Mine used to do that, but mine is an auto. Just had the mechanic increase the idle & it was fine.
Would start at 800ish, then drop to 500, then stall. Once the mechanic messed with the idle, it was fine.

I have had similar problems in past cars and increased the idle to cover up the problem and it worked for a little while. But the real problem for me was always a vaccum leak somewhere causing the idle to drop and fluctuate. So when that happens to me now...that is the first thing i look for b/c for me that has always been the case.
