My 87 does something similar to this at times.... it's a little grumpy on that first start, then behaves fine the rest of the trip. I've almost stalled it getting out of the driveway. I'm about to embark on a quest to prevent all vacuum leaks and it may be a good idea for you as well.
Replace the intake manifold gasket ($3 at FCP Groton) and the injector seals (4X $2 each). Remove and inspect the intake air hose from the AMM to intake- if it's got pinholes or splits replace it ($14). Clean the throttle body and breather (flame trap) if you've not already done so. (I have, no effect on this behavior).
These are simple and cheap things you could do yourself, or wouldn't be real expensive at a shop. After that, I'd have to suggest making certain you have good fuel pressure and also replacing the fuel filter if it's old. (I haven't done those things yet, but should).
Good luck!
