stall right after start

My truck stalls immediately after being started cold. It would stall one or two more times before staying on for good. It also takes for ever to warm up. What could it be???

Does it stall if you hold the gas down a little?

It stalls Immediately the FIRST time I start'er up. But for the second time, if I step on the Pedal and rev up to 3000RPMs I can keep it running until warm. But I have to keep my foot on the pedal, otherwise it starts to idle rough, caugh, and stall...if it stalls the second time too, it then stays on with really high idle the third time I start up...

Have you checked the choke? That may not be closing enough to keep the engine running.

When the engine is off and I step on the gas pedal, the choke closes, but as soon as I start the engine, the choke opens and stays open the whole time...is it supposed to close right after again??because it's not....
