Well, that was my case, yours MAYBE different, but have those checked out to eliminate as many possilbilities as you can.

thanks for the suggestions...im gonna recheck all my electrical connections on the new headlights, the cd changer, my negative battery cable seems not to holding a tight grip on the post too...the screw is fully tightened but its not tight on the post......ALSO,,,,,,THIS HAPPENS DARN NEAR EVERY TIME ON A COLD START....I do not press the gas pedal before turning key,, it starts right up,, goes to about 3000 rpm, then rpms drop to around 200, sounds like its gonna stall and then corrects itself.....fuel filter, plugs, bg-44k, air filter, pvc, and tranny flush all done <10,ooo miles ago..

The 3000 rpms at start up is really weird... I don't know how it is possible that your starter motor could actually spin your flywheel that fast. The STANDARD starter on our cars has like a 1700 rmp max... The only thing I could think would be responsible would be something with the fuel system. For some reason the engine is getting way to much fuel at strat up, which is making the engine rev that fast.

EDIT* Well...not all of the sockets, only 1 or 2 the car can still start, but it'll be running rough and since the engine isn't getting all the sparks it needs, it may stall.

Anyway, you should replace it after the flush, as fuel will go thru the filter first. The same prob you described happened to my old Max and the shop did this to fix it and only costed me about $115 for everything(didn't know how to work on my own car back then).
As I've mentioned, flooded spark plugs can also cause this prob and I've seen it before. So have all of these checked out, and if the shop you go to know what they are doing, they should be able to find out the cause of the prob fast.
