Question Engine Stall on Startup

I have two Mustangs with the 2.3L engine - an '87 with AT and an '88 with 5 speed. Both cars start up easily, but at idle speed the engine begins to lope and stalls out. It usually takes me two to three startups to get going. Once I'm going the engines run as smooth as silk and I rarely stall at stop lights. Any ideas what might be causing this?
Thanks for any help provided.
