Default 99 Ford F-150 5.4 Engine Starts and Stalls on cold start

This happens usually on cool damp mornings or even if it sits for 3-4 hours.
Happen 2-3 times a week but becoming more frequent.
I have to keep my foot on the gas for a minute or two and then it will idle OK.
I have a printout of all the possible computer error codes but I do not know how to read them. I hear you can do something with the trip being pushed in while turning the key on. The the codes I read there don't mean anything to me. They are not the standard codes like P0234 or U0234. Just examples. Any Idea's?

Tell us what the exact code numbers are, we know how to read and translate to English.

When I hold in the trip and turn the key on and then let the trip out all the gauges go fully to the right and then back to the left. Then I keep pressing the trip button and get all these following codes:
GAGES
Odometer reading display characters (Zeros and lines)
bulb
r 51
EE 02
dE 628F (Not really an "E", missing the top line left to right of the "E")
dec none
ENG 000.0
M 000.0
EAc0000 (Not really an "E")
FUEL 225
OIL 255
dE6C079
br128
bAEE151 (Not really an "E")
rhEo000
rh5 FF
rho 3E0
rhi 000
Cr -h
ALEF -- (Not really an "E")
PA CF
P6 18
PC 41
Pd 3F
PE0 151
PE1 000
PE2 227
PE3 128
PE4 255
PE5 000
PE6 255
PE7 255

Then cycles thru all the same codes again.
My ERROR CODE printout shows codes like P01234 or U29342 as examples.
