T4R dies on first strat-up, but then runs fine

I have been running errands around town, and everytime I start my 97 4R it idles up to about 2k, then slowly down till it dies. The second time I start it it runs fine. This happened about 3 times in the past hour. Never had any problems out of it before. Anyone have any ideas?

First guess would be your fuel injectors. Try running some cleaner through for the next month to see if it gets better.

I thought that may be it, I will get some cleaner (lucas probably?). I noticed a couple weeks ago it was idleing way low, like at 400-500 rpms sometimes, but other times it would idle higher like normal. Not sure, it may be a sensor (TPS, MAF, IAC??) but I will try the injector cleaner to start with. Thanks.
