so, it runs fine if you apply a little accelerator?

Is the problem there when starting the engine from cold or already hot or both?

Things I would check would be Coolant Temperature Sensor, Throttle Position Sensor, and Idle Air Control Valve.

Could be simply a dirty connection on the plugs. Check all electrical connectors on the throttle body.

Do you have a workshop manual (e.g. Haynes) for reference to test these various components for correct operation?

there are test procedures in the haynes manual for the aforementioned parts. A multimeter is required.

Does it do it when the engine is hot or cold or both?

When were the plugs, leads, distributor cap and rotor arm last changed?
