Question 302 Idles erractically


I have a '86 302 and when I first start it up it idles real low then it revs up erratically, but after about 5 minutes it smooths out and I can drive. If I try to drive it, before it warms up, it does not want to go and makes a loud popping noise. If it anybody knows what the problem could be, please let me know.

Thanks!
