Poor cold performance '91 240 200

I'm sure this subject has been covered before, but my wife's '91 240 starts right up in the morning but will die soon after if it is not allowed to warm to operating temperature. Then it runs fine. When it is first started it will idle properly and even drive OK for a block or two, then it will die when I stop and try to re-enter traffic, hard re-start, and very rough idle until operating temp is reached. Ideas?
Thanks.
P.S. It is not very cold here, usually around 45 degrees.
