Question Low Idle

Sometimes when I start my 1999 explorer with 96,000 miles after a long trip like it seems like it isn't getting enough gas, it just like clunks away and will kick on after a few minutes, I can step on the gas and it revs the engine but then it was stall, I think it does it when it gets hot. I had a complete tune up 2 months ago, plugs & wires, air Filter, Fuel Filter. not sure whats causing this, has anyone come across this problem.
