stalling at startup 200

Our 88 245 is starting to stall on a regular basis only on startup. It acts fine once the car has been warmed up for a bit.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated as to what to look at 1st.

My 1st thing to do this weekend is to replace the fuel filter...How do I releive the pressure. This is a new to us car and I don't know the last time it was changed so I may as well change it out.
I checked/cleaned the throttle body and and checked the wiring connections under the hood to the best of my ability last weekend.

What else should I be looking at? The fuel pump pressure,electical control unit,vacuum,coolant sensor......anything else??
I just get the feeling its fuel related,but you know how that goes.

Don't forget to tell how to releive the fuel pressure before replacing the filter.

Thanx for the help
