My 1991 2.9 auto Ranger has an issue when cold. When cold started, the idle starts at a normal high idle and then after about 1 second of that it drops to a super low idle and dies when put into gear. The only way to get it to go into gear without dying is to hold the throttle to bring the RPMs up and let it warm up for a second and then drive off. Then once warm when you start it the starter will turn the engine really fast as if it is trying to fire up and you have to press the throttle to get it to fire up the rest of the way. Once this is done it is good to go and has normal power. My battery light also comes on intermitantly but my voltage gauge reads normal. I have also replaced the IAC valven with no luck.
I will post a video of the issue later today
