Default Idle issue b series

So ive been having issues getting my car to keep running in the morning. Ive noticed its way worse when its freezing cold (live in Va 20 degrees) the car wont keep idle untill it warms up then it runs flawless and idles fine. Could this be becuase theres only water in the radiator?
It almost scares me how shitty it runs when i try and hold the pedal down to keep idle for warming up it sounds like its getting low fuel or something bogging and hesitating. My question is what can i do to fix this or am i **** outa luck cuz its a honda? thanks for any help

your saying your runnin straight water n your coolant system, no coolant? dude, water freezes at 32F. so if it's 20 there your system is probaly frozen up. that's why you need coolant, it's gotta way lower freezing point. i'd say that would be that's probly a major factor why your car won't stay on, yeah.
