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.

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

does it die when u come to stop sign and sit? im having issues at idle. or when i push the clutch in my RPMS drop and i stall. im thinking the TPS. but i havent had time to test my volts on it yet. its my daily driver. so ive been having to rev it at stop signs/red lights to keep it running.

When i drive my car for the first time of the day and barely warmed up my car will drop and bog around 400-500 when i come to a stop but i don't know if it will die cause i always try to keep the rpms up by heal and toeing lol... Once my car is warm it won't do that anymore and will keep an idle at 900. This only happens like first 3 miles driving..
