My 97 mark 8 starts rough an RPM are a lil hight then stops also
Car is pulling to the right what can it be
 
how high is a little high?
a high idle on a cold start is normal. 2k or so RPMs.

rough idle could be coils, plugs, or a vacuum leak.

pulling to the right could be bad tire, low tire air pressure, a bad alignment, or worn/failed suspension pieces.
 
When i start it it shakes up the car like it rumbles then the RPMs drop and it goes away yeah its under 2000 rpms tires are good alignment should be too air suspension seems to be working good is there any way I can check the air suspension or compressor I have not change the spark plugs yet which ones do you recommendthe car is bone stock but will be adding some bolt ons
 
IAC would account for a low idle, or a hanging high idle, not really a rough idle.

if the car has near, or more than 100k, you should do plugs.

the autolite 764 plug is popular and cheap.
the autolite 103 is a more performance oriented plug, but not really needed on an all stock vehicle. i would recommend it in combination with a tune though.

you can pay more for a platinum plug with a longer service life if you wish.


also check the vacuum lines on top of the intake, they break down from the heat and fumes and can leak.


rotate your tires, if the problem persists, you probably need a front suspension rebuild. most of these cars do.
