Ford E350 Truck cold start problem

I have a Ford E350 truck with a V8 engine that has recently acquired a problem starting. If I try to start it in 70 degree weather for example, it will initially start, operate at low RPMs (like it used to do only when warmed up) for a few seconds, and stall. If I restart it, it eventually starts up for a longer period of time, long enough to warm up, and then runs fine. No other issues, no engine codes. It can run for 200 miles, no problem. Even can be turned off and on with no issues. Unless you let it sit and get cold. Then I get the issues again. In the past it would idle at higher RPMs while cold and only idle at the lower RPMs when warmed up.

Today I started it, it stalled, started it again, it warmed up, and then it drove it for about 30 minutes. I recorded what info I could find for the 45 minute event. Please let me know what you think it might be and what I can do to fix it.

In the first chart, the engine coolant is blue, the air intake is red.
