removed emissions, hard to start

as the title says; after romoving my emissions, my car is hard to start when the weather is cool outside. by cool i mean around 70-75 degrees. when i start the car a few things happen. first of all, the car is obviously hard to start (cranks right up, but i have to fight it for a few seconds to get it to not die) after 5-10 seconds or so i get it to idle smoothly, then a beeping starts. today when the beeping started, i put the car in gear and just drove off like normal and the beeping stopped... usually i turn the car off and start it back up and the beeping stops.
has anyone else had these little problems with their fc?

Make sure none of your block-off plates are leaking...

the PFC must do some learning on its own in the idle mode ,just give it some time .Check your idle mixture at start up ,but if it gets smooth in afew seconds that is good . the PFC will learn to do better in time.

Ive removed all emissions on mine and I have the same problem. I sometimes need to hold the idle myself for abour 15-20 seconds. As far as beeping, im not too sure what you mean..............

Yes, It's actually add Coolant Buzzer It will light on your Idiot cluster aswell, which I'm sure you knew already knew. Also, you don't state what emmisions components you removed which will prove useful In this thread.
