Try adjusting the ISCV (Idle Solenoid Control Valve), which is found to the right (passenger direction) of the throttle body. Loosen the two screws, and rotate it clockwise.

Or you can raise the idle, there's a screw underneath the throttle body which holds open the butterfly a small amount, you may want to reset your TPS (Throttle position sensor) if you do this.

Mines the opposite, it idle's when you start... but you have to give it good hearty revs lol until its warm or it'll cut out. TPS on mine is set at 0.4V closed butterfly and 4.4V open (should be 0.3/4.5V +/- 0.2V).

My ISCV is almost fully clockwise, and my idle is set to 1k to help with it when the engines cold.

MAF maybe?
