when i first start my car for the first time (when 100% cold), it dies unless i give it some gas, after about 1 min, it will be fine. Any idea?

make sure that your vacuum lines are not leaking and arent being restricted.

there is a large hose connected to the intake tube right before the throttle body. make sure it isnt pinched off. also check for codes.

Mine used to do this until I threw a ground wire kit at it.

Try that, and if that doesnt work, clean the IACV which really is most likely the culprit anyways ;)

I am still toying with this same problem. Cleaned IAC, multiple grounds, checked vaccum leaks, etc. Still does it it. I have just managed to deal with it for now and get PO'd when it happens.
