Shortly after the engine is turned on, the engine will race and then almost die until the engine has warmed up.
Sometimes the engine will die completely when coming to a stop.

Is the Malfunction Indicator Light showing?
Could be the cold start is not functioning correctly. Try cleaning the throttle body and IAC.
