Rough Idle on Startup

Hey guys. '96/'97 Ford F250. 7.5 liter. Love this truck! Full tuneup done this spring. She runs great except on startup. When starting, give her some fuel and it may kick into idle-may not. When it doesn't, it just runs rough puts and sputters and stalls out. Eventually it'll kick into idle and all is fine.

Get me started on my trouble shooting guys. Any help would be appreciated.
