Default car starting problems

So i come home from college, fire up my car, it starts, then dies a second later. So i start it up again and rev the engine as soon as it starts, then go. It drives fine after that, idles fine at stoplights etc. But everytime i start it up, it will die on me if i dont rev the engine right away. Why is that?

Iac sticking or plugged or dirty, you can try taking it off and spraying carb cleaner in it and use a little brush to clean it.
