okay so i have had my swap done for about 2 weeks now...this is not a huge issue but i would like to know why it is doing this and hopefully fix it...

it is a s13 sr blacktop, only when its cold and i start it then it will idel at 1k for about 10sec then start to drop rpm and then die....it starts up every time though...once it is worm then it does not have this problem anymore...what is causing this???thanks in advance...

check the resistance of the ECT sensor.

had this problem on my older sr sentra. Check timing. That was my problem but is more likely the ect like Sogu said.
