'93 tempo starts then dies

It's a '93 Ford Tempo, 4 cyl auto with about 140k miles on it. Lately when it sits for a few hours, when you go to start it, it starts, idles kind of high, then dies when you put it in gear. In fact, it will die if you don't put your foot on the gas in a few seconds too. Just does this for a minute or so, then it's fine...well as fine as a Tempo ever is. The check engine light does not come on when this is happening. In the last 10k miles it's had new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, fuel filter, and air filter. That wasn't due to chasing a problem, just maintainence. Any idea's what it might be?
