A couple of weeks ago my 02 Boxster (71,000 MIles) had a very rough engine idle at start and my check engine light came on a week or so before. I took it my repair place and they replace the PCV vent box valve and breather hose. I picked up the car and it was running fine... However now on very cold starts or if the car sits for a few days I have the same rough idle at start up and it wants to die. Once it warms up a little everything runs great and there is no check engine light on.

I just dont think this rough idle at cold start should be happening.

Any thoughts?
