The car: 95 GSX with automatic tranny.

The car idle perfectly fine at about 800 RPM when first start up, warming up the car for few minutes. Put in gear and the car died. The car re start up with no problem. After the car died about 2-3 times and it doesn't happen anymore for the day. Again it idle fine, only died when put in gear.

I have to put in gear quickly and hit the gas so the car will be moving and the car don't die. This is the only way I can get the car going without stalling. After I've done this, the car runs great and will not die all anymore for the day.

It appears only happen first time I start the car for the day only in the morning. Temperature is about 45-55 degrees outside. Help!
