Default Slow warm up any time of the day

Hi there, I recently bought a 1998 Ford Futara Auto with 178, 000 K's. When I start the car up it can take up to 10 minutes for the car to warm up and only when I'm driving will it eventually warm up. When I come to a stop and the car is still cold it come times stalls and/or will not take off. I have tried changing the petrol pump I even changed to premium fuel.The gauge starts on cold then goes into the normal area, but it doesn't have to be in the morning it can be in the middle of a HOT day and it will happen. the car will start up every time but then will take a while for the gauge to get into the normal area. When it's on cold the car stalls when i stop at lights etc, or will take of really slowly if I pump the gas. ( it's an auto ) Does any one know what I can do?
