Reluctant Start on 87 245 200

A minor annoyance, but a frustrating annoyance nonetheless. Car is a 1987 245 with B230F, auto trans. Problem occurs only when the car is dead cold in the morning, or after sitting for a long period to completely cool down. Car will start fine, but stall when put into gear. When restarted, starts up fine, and then if put immediately into gear (within 2-4 seconds) will not stall and runs great. If it is left to idle after initial start-up, ti will stumble and stall after about 10-15 seconds. All ignition components (plugs, rotor, cap, wires) are new; throttle body is clean; new O2 sensor. Seems like it might be an ECU or AMM related glitch, but can;t locate anything obvious nd need help diagnosing nad trouble shooting. Thaks.

Mike
