Need help w/ a starting issue

So here's the problem, when I first start my car (92 GTX/GLI) unless I hold the gas pedal the car will shut right off, and will fire right back up. Now when I'm holding the gas pedal the car bogs. I can drive but for the first 2-5 minutes of driving when I put the clutch in, the car will shut off unless I give it some gas. After about 15 minutes of driving, the car will stay on, but the cars idle will surge.
The engine is a 2.0 16v w/ CIS-E

Try checking your coolant temp sensor or check your fuel mixture
