cold start issue

i have a 1986 rx7(GXL). when the motor is cold, i have to warm it up by revving it to about 3k for a few mins. I crank it and it wont idle by itsself.. i have to keep revving it until it gets warm enough or it will die instantly.

any suggestions?

possibly the BACV or Thermowax on the back of the TB.

On a S4 NA, the BAC is on the driver's side of the intake manifold. It's cylindrical and lies parallel to the ground. It also has a coolant line running through it. The thermowax is on the firewall side of the throttle body. It also had a coolant line running through it.
