Default OH F%&* WTH LIKE OMGEE, problem starting car :(

I have a 92 dx with a z6 that i swapped about 3 months ago. It ran flawlessly, but lately, every time I go to start my car, it'll start fine but then cut right back off. I would have to give it some gas a couple times to get it to stay running. Sometimes that doesnt even work. Also, it only does this when its cold. The car drives fine after I get it started, no problems at all. Anybody know what this can be? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

UPDATE*
I don't know if what I posted above has anything to do with this, but today my car just cut off on me while in the middle of driving. I tried to turn the car back on but it wouldn't turn on, it was cranking but didn't turn over, so then i had to do the old kicking the gas while holding the clutch technique(car was still rolling while i was doing this). That worked and my car was running again. I stopped at a stoplight and then the car almost cut off, then revved back up, kinda like when you release the clutch just to the point where the car is about to stall. This problem only seems to be getting worse and worse. Someone please help me get this problem fixed, it was scary as hell when this happened and I dont wanna experience it again.

I highly doubt it because i had the belt replaced at 116xxx miles, its now at 147xxx miles. It ran without any problems the whole time too. but just to be safe, is there anything i should look for on my timing belt that can cause this?

can a bad distributor be the cause of any of these problems? or maybe just the rotor and cap?
