low idle on start

[DragonX32]

Im running a 92 2.0 N/T and when i start it the majority of the time it won't idle properly (wants to die) and I have to rev the engine until it catches then itll usually stabalize. But recently it's gotten worse sometimes dying while im sitting at stoplights and such, any ideas what the problem could be? I just put on a new intake and the O2 sensor isn't hooked up, but im not sure if that would cause that. Thanks in advance.

The O2 sensor will not make it idle really low, but it is recommended that you hook it up to regulate your rich/lean mixture. You should check for air leaks from your air can to your intake. If there are no leaks, unplug your MAF and see if it changes anything. If it does not, then your MAF is probably bad.

the MAF is your Mass Air Flow located in your Air Filter Box.
