Rough Idle

I have a 2001 Boxster, the car only has 15,000 miles on it, I recently had a new clutch installed and the rear main seal replaced, Before I had all this work done the car ran perfect but now when I start it the car runs really rough until the car comes up to temp. and then idles perfect, the car sat for a good period of time. I really hope somone can help me, my mech. skills are limited.

Thanks Mike

Did you try cleaning the throttle body?

I'd take it back to the place you got it fixed. Could be a leak or sensor problem, maybe they didn't connect things properly.

No check engine light, I also had the mech. take a look at the car after the repairs were made and he told me that there was no way a clutch replacment could cause a rough idle
