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????

my original theory was that the problem was with my batterie/altinator. when the car is cold, the colst start injector gives it the extra boose it needs to crank, but when its hot out the injector dosnt kick in. so it must be a starter/batterie or altinator issue.
