Need Help

I have a 88 F150 with a 300 6. 5 Speed Man when i start it, it idles up to about 2000 rpms for about a minute then it idles down to normal for about a minute then it starts idlind up and down then it dies it will start right back up. I've changed everything from fuel filter to plugs & wires egr valve idle sensor & TPS, map sensor etc. It is worse in cold weather. It runs perfect while driving then sometimes when I stop at a red light it dies but starts right back up. any ideals would help. Also the amp, oil, water temp and gas guage doesnt work every now and then the amp guage works but speed omiter and tack works great.
