Car Shuts off when cold?!?!

I just had this problem, and i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem....i start the car in the morning to warm up so i can go to school or work, and it will start, and then the rpms will go real low, the car will try and keep itself on and then just give up and die??? any help on this appreciated, only happens when engine is cold. is this normal, or something i shouldnt worry about? i have an 02 OZ Manual, only 2900 miles on it. i'll take it in to the dealer in a few weeks when i have the time, but unitl then, just wondering if anyone knows whats up.

Never happened to me, but mines auto, and is always idle at like 1500 rpms. I'd definately take it to the dealer for inspection

Is the wiring to your MAS loose maybe? I'd take it to the dealer unless it's something easy like that.

just hold the rev at 2500-3000rpm for a lil bit. If it continues then take it in.

if i rev it a little its fine, its just if i turn the car on and sit there the rpms drop and it shuts off.

Take it in, it shouldn't be doing that.
