Question car tries to die on me

when I start the car it turns on like normal but if I dont keep the revs up it tries to die on me doesnt turn off but revs drop way down & its draining my battery. I checked the battery and the alternator they are both good I change out the 120 amp fuse cuz I had this previous symptom with my 94' and it was the fuse. but its still happening to me, any suggestions where else to start looking.

I have almost the exact same problem and I would like to know what the cause of it is as well. I have to hold my foot on the gas until it reaches normal temp or it will stall out. But it does start up easily, but when the rpms are coming down to idle after start, they just keep dropping down and then it stalls. If I remember correctly my afr's are 13.5ish but as it gets lower the afr goes up to about 15 then the car dies.

I am running an AEM EMS and have an AEM wideband.
