Default 89' auto capri stalling problems

has anyone experienced this before? i have an 89 model convertable capri single cam, 1.6, auto, when i first start up in the morning it runs fine for about a minute or two then just cuts out, if i keep the revs up over 2grand its ok but then when i put it into drive because its auto revs drop it sometimes dies as i go to take off,it starts up straight away everytime but this also happens often at lights and slowing down to turn, driving along is never a problem but taking off is, ive found that if i use the auto manually, put it into neutral at lights and keep the revs up near 2grand its not too bad, it seems more of an electrical problem rather than fuel injection problem but any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and looked into, regards, dave.....
