Why does my car stall when I try to accelerate from a stop?

The car stalls when I try to accelerate from a stop, then I have trouble starting it. The car starts fine when the engine is cold, but when it is warmed up, it starts to give me trouble. I have to keep the rpms up at a stop so I can accelerate without stalling.

Check the ignition timing, idle air control valve and test the throttle position sensor-
