Subject:Cuts off on startup

I've had my 90 Westy automatic since 2007.  Up until this past summer, the
van would start up and idle beautifully, and I could drive it right away.
Now, roughly since this past fall, all of a sudden I have to sit and give
it gas for 5 or 10 minutes before I can go anywhere.  After it's "warmed
up" it drives perfectly and idles perfectly when stopped.

I've had regular routine maintenance done by mechanics, but this just seems
to have started out of nowhere.  What needs to be done?
