300 TE cold start problem

have a 1992, 300 TE with the 103 engine. When the temperature is cold it has the following behavior:
-starts instantly
-then loses rpm to the point it quits.
after you start it a couple times it catches and cold idles up to about 1000 or 1050 rpm's and runs fine

So what I do when the temp is cold is:
-goose the throttle just barely about two times and run it up to about 1100 rpm's for an instant on each "goosing"
-then it sets in at the right cold warmup rpm and operates correctly

This behavior is not changing or getting any worse. When the weather is up into about the mid 40s or higher, there is no problem. So the car seems to be a little lean on cold startup.

Anybody had this one with their 103 engine?

thanks,
