Question 302 running problem

I have a 1987 Ford conversion van with a 302FI and auto OD tranny with some slight running problems, over she runs good but a few things. When cold starting the engine usually stalls once or twice before idling down, also when giving it gas to accelerate it will sometimes hesitate and octane knock before downshifting out of overdrive into drive. She only has 70,000 miles on her and has never seen a winter, any ideas would be sweet

Thanks, Jim S.<O</O
