will idle down to nothing and stall out

by James
(Honolulu, Hi)

The car starts fine and runs great, but say I shut it off and run into a store, come out and start it up... it will start, but then it will idle down to nothing and stall out. After that, it is hard to get started again. Let it cool off and it will restart and run fine until it warms up again. If I am at a light, I have to keep revving it so it will not die. Does anyone have any ideas of where I should trouble shoot first? BTW, it has a new fuel pump and once it is under way, has no trouble accelerating.
