Question 300 IL start up problems, please help

OK, Its a 1994 F150 with the 300 /4.9 engine. When its cold it wants to just kill after starting, but if it gets a lil more gas it stays running 'til its warmed up. After it warms up its runs fine.
Would a bad Idle air control be a possible thing to look at for this situation? because this is the first time I have ran into this I have no clue what else it might be. Any knowledge will be greatly appreciated.

I have a similar problem, it started right after I changed my alternator. The check engine light lights up and I have to feather the gas until it gets to the point where it would normally idle down. The light goes out and then it's fine. Until I shut it off and have to start it again.
