My89 5.0 doesnt like to run when its cold. When i first start it up it will die, but if i rev it up a few times it usually does fine. Im not quite shurewhat the problem is, i just replaced the battery and alternator, but when it starts running the volts are almost in the red, and when i shift to a gear the car nearly dies. the oil pressure is also very low when i am not moving, when i take off it goes back up to normal. After i crank it and drive down the road it takes about 2-3 miles to get firing on all cylinders. Any ideas or suggestions would be great. I am getting ready to change the plugs, hoping that is part of the problem.</P>

I would do all the maint. stuff
fuel filter
tune up
check to out put of the alt. the staock gauges are the best..do the light dim then brighten when you rev it up?
clean throttle body and egr..run for codes may be a cold/start thing
