car dies at startup without throttle

[Dazzla]

when I start the car it will die unless I give it some gas for a couple of seconds...what could be the cause of this? is it because i'm running an auto ECU?

mine did that too... after i replaced the o2 sensor it was fine (while it was plugged in)

Crank your Idle Air Control valve open

Mine does the same thing but only when the engine isn't warm. I'm trying to figure it out too.
