tpi runs like a carb cold

HI

I have tpi but when my car is cold and i start it i have to keep giving it the gas to hold idle or it will stall. The car runs great when warm or if i take off right away its fine. Just does not want to idle when cold without help. If i put tje ac on when from a cold start the comp drags kill the idle right away.

Is it the idle air control valve? anything else? 305 F Motor auto

THANKS!

Tommt
