never had the poblem before but ater getting a new oil pan and plugging my rear o2 sensors back in my car sputters and died on cold starts, i gotta keep it at 1k rpms for a couple minutes before i can let off the throttle or it will just die

any ideas?

y did you replace the oil pan? is there a possibility that you some how hooked the o2 sensors up backwards? and is the car throwing any codes?

say what?

just went out and started her up, ran and idled fine, but then again she ran fine yesterday after sitting outside 8 hours at work.. only seems to sputter and die in the morning, and today at like 12pm when i finnaly got outside to run arrends. maybe the car just isn't enjoying the cold weather, if i don't throw any codes i think i'll just ignore it. once i get the car warmed up it runs absolutly fine

Maybe the ecu is still adjusting to the new headers?

i thought about that, but i've had the headers on for a little while and had no problems until the new oil pan, the morning after the oil pan went on i started having the problem

You reset your ECU. This takes it back to day 0. Now you have I/H/E and no tune (I think). Its extreamly cold out on top of all that. Give it some time and it will be ok.
