Alright. Well sometimes, especially after my car has set for a few days or when its gotten pretty cold (but not every time I start it), my car wants to die right after I start it. If you can give it some gas before it dies, its usually alright then and will run ok. Any ideas on what could be wrong????

doubt it's a vacuum leak if it's only happening at a certain temperature. Plus with a vac leak idle should be better (getting more air), not lumpy.
Check anything to do with temperature... cold start, coolant temp sensor, etc. - aba |
