the 3-4 minute idle 200

Another question about my newly purchased 1985 240 wagon. It starts just fine, but it will only idle for about 3-4 minutes and then shuts down. there's nothing erratic about the idle before this happens, it just happens. The Wisconsin winters will get a bit chilly from time to time and I'd like to warm up the car before leaving for work.
Any Ideas ?
Also I've noticed that it will every so often buck when taking off in 1st gear, warm or cold.
