car dies at startup without throttle - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

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