Default Motor turns off when cold

My buddys b16 (delsol) shuts off when he drives it and it's still cold. itll start driving fine but as soon as he comes to a stop it just shuts off. I'm not that well tought about mechanics. But I don't have that issue with my b series. Any ideas if it's a sensor that's not working?

Modifications to engine?
Mileage?
Any codes?
Hows the plugs look?
Any recent work performed?
Any other driveability problems?
I assume once its warm, it runs fine and no problems whatsovever?

Solution: don't drive it when it is cold? lol I have been late to class and work several times due to my "pre-heating" habits. I refuse to move my car until I see the temperature gauge start to move. Most engine wear occurs in the 1st few minutes of driving if you just start and go. Anyways... I would guess something with the IAC. Has that been cleaned? Maybe there is carbon or something in it?

check compression.
check the plugs,
check the idle turned too low.

start with those.

Good luck.
