What does your 06 FE idle at?

Had our 06' FE coupe come back the other day and ever since it's had a very low idle at startup, like 500-600 rpm right after you turn it over. I've turned it over about 10 times since then and sound like it's going to die at any minute but doesn't. I remember it had a lot higher RPM at startup prior to this, like 800-1000 for a minute or so.... Now, if you dont feather the clutch enough, you'll kill it trying to move it until it warms up..... Thoughts? Bad gas? Racing fuel used? Low octane fuel used? I check the idle screw but it wasn't messed with... Did the computer learn something? Thanks.

I've got a rough idle when cold that needs feathering to keep running as well. Runs fine once warm? Has anyone else run into this? What's the fix?

800-1000 is kind of high. 500-600 is my normal idle.... then again I have a gen. 2 fe gts.
