Cold start issue

I just cold started my car and it started right up, but after it started it slowly turned off. It appeared that it couldn't catch a steady idle. After it turned off it just kept cranking until I applied the accelerator a little to turn it back on. Anyone know what it could be? Thanks.

More than likely your choke needs adjusted. Had the same problem.....cold starts like a top!!!
