Dies at idle below operating temperature

Consistently dies while warming up!
Any thoughts, and or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Another idea - set idle AFR target (down/richer) and/or 1100 45kPa (off idle)
Idle AFR Target = Target AFR of fuel control when the engine is at Idle. Most engines will tolerate as rich as 12.7:1, and some will “like” 14:1.
1100 45kPa = AFR at 1100 RPM and 45kPa – this is typically just “off-idle” with very low throttle opening. Different cams will require different AFRs at this point. A stock cam will work fine at 14.5:1. A lumpy cam might like 13.3:1 or 14.5:1.
