This morning however, on my way to school the check engine light went off on its own...without any ecu reseting. So does that mean that everything is fine now??

AHA! I looked at those Vacuum lines again...and i found that the top wire under the feul injection cover thingy was disconnected. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I DIDNT SPOT THIS LAST NIGHT.....but it was dark and maybe i didnt have sufficient lighting IDK. But I just spotted it and i plugged the hosing back in and reset the ECU. hopefully ill never see that CEL on for a while.

So ive got good news and bad news..first the good news.
1. The CEL has not come on ever again after finding that unplugged vacuum wire.
then the bad news..
2. Whenever I start the car while its still warm( as in having 3 bars) the idle is real low and the engine seems to cough more than ever. But after a few stops and goes the idle seems to be perfect! weird but true. but cold starts are just fine. ANY ideas why this is hapenning would help.

Try this:
Unclip the MAP sensor wiring harness and vigorously wiggle it while re-clipping it back on. Might want to reset the ECU. Won't hurt, might help. (Pull the "BACK UP" fuse for 1/2 minute)

Do you think it would be a good idea to clean inside the map sensor with something like this http://www.shipstore.com/ss/html/CRC/CRC06102.html ???
