Default 1985 302 F150 Idle Issues

Big Red has been having some idle issuse right after starting up in any temperature. Right after starting up the RPM Guage drops and the truck idles lower than normal for around 2-5 seconds and then jolts back up to a normal idle. Thing is, on average every half dozen staets or so it will idle so low that the motor cuts out. It's an old truck and I'm not too worried about it doing this, its more of an annoyace than anything. Any ideas why it would idle low and sometimes die/stall out like this?

The truck had and still has EFI, was retrofitted with a 302 in 1992. I've owned it for about a year and it's been acting up ever since I've owned it, if that helps.

Don't waste your time on this Lad... He knows it all.... Won't answer questions, doesn't tell you the whole story, etc.
