Idles rough for a few minutes after not being driven for a day

The truck starts and idles normal when using it on a regular basis. When I start it after it has been sitting for a day it idles rough for a few minutes. It sounds like it wants to die and then it will rev real high repeating this for a few minutes then it is good to go for the rest of the day. This happens even if it is a hot day outside. I had an oil change and tune up with new plugs, air filter ect.

SOURCE: Rough idle code P0300

check the fuel pressure when u get a po300 code that means there has been a missfire. if your fuel pressure is low it will cause missfires.

Dodge flatbed gas truck shakes violently

Sounds like bad fuel, dirty fuel, water in the gas tank or a fuel filter problem.

I have a 03 gmc 2500 that loses power while driving and starts idling really rough. Turning the truck for off a few minutes it will start and run fine. Took it to a mechanic and he replaced the throttle...

This sounds like a fuel pump that starts losing preasure, the throtle body is a big problem on these trucks but should of diagnosed a little better, check computer for any stored codes, and them may need to keep truck for a few days to get to act up, a fuel preasure gauge should be put on and driven until it acts up this way they will know if it fuelpump or not, that would be where i would start after scanning for codes, it may also be a computer problem.or mass air flow sensor. hope this is helpful.

Rough running engine at temp

0340 is camshaft position sensor and the other 0325 is the knock sensor. Chances are you need to replace the sensors and good to go.
