Default Car dying at start up

The past few times I've got in the car to drive after it has been sitting for a while it has had issues staying running. Start it up, let it run a bit, shift into reverse or drive, and the idle quickly drops, often dying as well. It's fine when left in park or neutral, but as soon as it's put in gear it wants to die. This is only on an initial start, once the car is running a bit longer i can put it into gear and give it a little gas and it'll stay running the rest go the time just fine. This issue just started this week, it hasn't had this problem at all in the past month or so since I've been driving it.


This is my second gen swap, 2000 ls1. Any thoughts?
