LOL, I miss read. Most people call that starting. I read "turning on" as turning-the-wheel type turning. Any codes?

Unplug your upstream o2 sensor. Does the problem still exist?

Battery or connections maybe. A weak battery or poor connections will do this.

Well i found the problem, If anybody else is having problems like these the first thing i would do is clean your idle control system
