Default Starting problem

Ok i have a 1999 Honda Prelude base model and its salvaged. What is happening is that i can start up the car in the morning fine. Then if i leave it to idle and warm up it would just die after like 30 sec-60 seconds. When i start it back up it kind of struggles...it starts then goess...putt...putt..putt... the turns off. Then i would try to do it again but no success. It hella turns for a long time and i would give it some gas too. Then after like 20 seconds of turning the key, it would start with some gas. But when i would drive and go to a stop sign or just stop for any reason it would die. The rpm would drop FAST. i can keep it alive if i keep revving the engine, but i can't stop or i gotta restart. When i drive around for a while and the engine is warmed up, the RPM drops slower and i can keep it at a study revving pace. but sometimes i don't need to rev it when my engine is hot enuff.

Once again this is salvaged. It has full cat exhaust, intake, and headers. i was told it could be my ecu, but i reseted it and does nothing. Could i be that i need a different ecu or im just way off. I REALLY REALLY need help on this. i hope all the Honda-Techs out there got any ideas.
