Subject:      91 Carat Cold Stall

Hello,
I have a 91 Carat that starts up great and idles smooth
for about 30 seconds - then immediately dies. It will
restart, but unless the idle is kept up until the needle
begins to move it will stall again. It will drive fine,
until a stop sign, then die. Once it is warmed up it
runs just fine. This problem got worse after a tune up.
It used to cold idle without any help at all, but would
stall as above at stop signs until warm. Any suggestions?
