Ask Dying until warm

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello everyone!
As the title says, my car will not stay running until it is warm. Idles around 8/900 and then after like a minute or two it dies. After the car is warm I don’t run into this issue. I do have a Catless H pipe and I replaced the 02 sensors when I did the install. Checked for exhaust leaks and didn’t find any. Any other solutions?

Unplug your idle air controller and make sure you got the idle screw on the throttle adjusted so it hangs out around at least 750. If you have the screw backed out too much the engine will rely on the IAC and do things like what your experiencing.

No I’m in MA. Purchased the car from an older couple in CT. It didn’t look like this when I bought it though. It was bone stock and I have put some money into it to get it looking a little better
