When I first start my car when it is cold it stumbles and then dies. When I restart it, it idles fine. This started to happen after I fixed a vacumn hose which disconnected.
 






did you reset the computer after you fixed the vacuum line? Are there any other lines that are disconnected?

Typically when this happens the first thing I would check is the battery terminals and cables, then the fuel pump relay and fuse.
 






Check all the vacuum connections on the vacuum tree located on the drivers side near the fire wall.
