Default Car acting gay need help!

Well guys I need your help with a problem I've been facing with my 90' CRX.
It's runnig pretty awful and I need some help on what might be wrong. Its a stock D15 that is only runing properly once it gets warmed up. When I start it up in the morning I have to let it sit for a few minutes before it runs proper, other wise it shuts off on me. This is the first time I've encountered this problem in my two years of ownership. No its not bossted just in case your wondering. Once it warms up to normal operating temperatures, it runs fine but any thing before that and it struggles to stay alive before shutting off. In addition If I run it like this for a while than park it for a few minutes (i.e. 30) than go to start it again, it idles like ----. It idles from 200-1000 K, just bouncing up and down uncontrolably until I start to drive it for a while, then it steadis out. I've beem getting around like this for a while and I've had it, any suggestions will really help.
