cold start idle issue

im having issues with my honda when starting when its cold. i have to give it gas to start it and keep giving it gas to keep the car from stalling until the car warms up. also, while im holding the gas to keep the car running the idle is jumping up and down. but once it warms up its fine and starts fine.

car is a 94 cx hatch with a GSR swap. mods are intake, exhaust, and chipped ecu.

any insight on what it could be? any help will be appreciated.

Any check engine lights? What program are you running on the ecu? Can you try using a stock GSR ecu?

Does the check engine light turn on then turn off when you first turn the key to the on position ?

Resetting the ecu won't effect a thing on an obd1 vehicle that is not throwing a code.

running the stock injectors i believe. not sure on the chip in the ecu. ill have to check to see if the CEL does that

once it warms up, the car runs smooth and perfect.

Well, have the ecu checked out & the car looked at by some one who knows what they are doing
