Why won't my '99 toyota camry hold it's idle?

Question:
I have a '99 toyota camry 4 cyclinder engine. Every morning before I can go anywhere, I have to step on my accelerator to keep the engine running or else my idle just won't hold and the engine will die. This only happens when my engine is cold. Once my engine is warm, everything is fine. I can start the engine like normal. What's wrong with my poor old car?

Will you really feel a difference in handing after adding a strut bar?

Sounds like something is keeping it from richening up. The fuel injection has an auto enrichment that acts like a choke, when the thermostat is closed and the car is cold it needs to be running richer ( more gas being injected into the cylinder). when the thermostat opens ( the car is warmed up) the engine runs leaner.(less gas being injected into the cylinder) I would also check for any vacuum lines disconnected or broken. it will be hard to tell if it needs enrichment without taking it to shop.
