Stalls after startup

In the last couple of days my 93 4.9 has started acting up. When I start it, it will stumble and die unless I give the pedel a quick stab. If it does die, when I restart it, it does fine. It has 72k trouble free miles, any ideas? Thanks!

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 26-May-02 AT 08:05 PM (EST)]I have the same exact problem, but have not been able to fix the problem. Weird though, it only happens when the outside temp is between 50-60 and the truck is cold. ??

This too sounds like a likely "throttle position sensor" these are very common on the Ford EFI. As well dirty throttle plates can cause it. Please make sure there are no codes in the computer or the orange light does not stay on.
