Dies after startup

Hey everyone, first post so give me hell for not using the search bar or something .

I have an 87 TII with a stage II streetport, To4b with clipped compressor, full race exhaust, intake, ect. For engine management, i'm using the Rtec7 and an S-AFC II.

Question:

The car starts fine when cold...come up to normal RPM (1100) range and sounds fine. After about 10 seconds, it starts to die. If i dont' give it just a little gas, it will die. Still restarts fine, but the problem starts again as well...keeps going like this until it is warm at which point there is no problem.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Probably a cracked TID causing a massive rich condition when cold.

My car had this problem about 3 days ago. Mine was caused by the blow off valve sticking open, which is pretty much a HUGE vac leak. The first thing i would do if i were you would be, check the TID, vac lines, MAF etc. anything after the MAF that air could be sucking in through. Took me like a week to figure mine out.
