cold start death

Another newbie here, Sorry if this subject was covered before but couldn't find it. My '90 f 150 5.0 dies as soon as it starts when cold. After it does this several times it gets warm enough and is fine till the next cold start. Is it running closed loop at this point? Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

well i would start by pulling the codes on it. www.fordfuelinjection.com i would think its the iac, or idle air controller. it can stick, and kill then engine, but once it warms up its ok.
