Why does my car die on me after start up?

Ok after i start my car up and it sometimes does and sometimes dosen't go throught the warm up cycle, it almost ALWAYS dies on my unless i tap the gas peddle, then its fine, I've also noticed that after the engne gets warm and i come to a stop it sputters and sometimes dies on my or catches itself just before it dies. It dosen't matter what the weathers like or anything like that. Other than this it runs fine (except for the 3800rpm stumble that i've yet to get a good answer on to fix lol) Oh and i'm new to the site so hi to all!
