I got this truck a couple months ago and it needed a head gasket. Took it to a popular shop in town and had one put on along with some other parts. The truck had been sitting for 2 years when I got. Since I got it out of the shop when I first start it up it cuts off within about 60 seconds. Crank it again same thing. If I try to give it gas to keep it running it hesitates and tries to die out but if you fight with it at just the right time you can keep it running. Once you keep it running for about 4 or 5 minutes it stays running and its good to go. Really cold natured. But once it warms up its fine, Runs and drives out fine. But if you cut it off and go in the store by the time you come back out and start it up the hesitation starts again let it run for a couple minutes its fine again good to go. Its a 87 Ranger 2.3L automatic trans. Could anyone help me out with this?? Its dangerous when I try to pull out in the road and it won't go anywhere just hesitates.

Since the intake system and coolant was removed to do the head gasket, I would first check your IAC (Idle Air Control) valve, IAT (Intake Air Temperature) sensor, TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) and your ECT Engine Coolant Temperature) sensor. All of these can affect your cold engine driveability issue.
