when you first start the vheicle is starts right away reving up to 2000 rpms then stalling down to 0 shuting off or barely staying running then it fulcuates between 1200rpm and 200rpm after 10 seconds it levels off to normal and runs perfect.

what could cause this?

Check the MAF/MAP/TPS sensors to include a fuel pressure test
