The 92 Taurus wagon my father gave me hesitates only when it's cold. Once it's
warmed up a bit, the delay goes away. Where do I need to look to fix it?

Some more info: it's a 3.0 liter Vulcan engine running off unleaded gasoline
only. It always starts quickly and easily; the idle is smooth in or out of
gear.

When it's cold, it doesn't stall; it only stumbles for a few seconds... just
enough to make you think it *might* stall.
