So this happens everytime i start my car for the first time of the day.. When i'm letting the car sit to warm up it idles around 1200-1400 and after like 2 mins of idling it will just die like theres a fuel cut.. So i have to sit there and press the gas before it dies.. This also happens every once a while when it's already warm like when i go to the store and come back and turn it on and let it idle for a while and it'll die in like a minute or two. What could be the problem? it really feels like it's getting its fuel cut off. Thank you very much - kevin.

possibly a bad alternator? My battery is dead when i try to turn it on after it dies soo it doesn't wanna crank.

Check iacv and clean. check maf and clean. Also check for vacuum leaks.

If your car is still having troubles, I have a suggestion that might help. I had this same problem with my car, only it wanted to die a lot more. The alternator wasn't holding a charge. The other thing was that stupid MAF. So maybe check that.
