2001 Ford Taurus Two Wheel Drive Automatic 77000 miles

When the car sits overnight and after driven approx. One mile, When I come to a stop the engine wants to stall. All I have to do is put it in neutral without giving it any gas. When the light changes I drop it back into drive and there is no problem. After the engine warms up there is no more stalling the rest of the day. What could be the problem?

Could be a trans issue.

But the first thing I woudl check would be the engine coolant temp sensor.

Compare its resistance values with the IAT temp sensor values of resistance. They should be close.
