Subject:stumbling/no power after cold start

Took the van out today after resealing the gas tank and replacing all
the fuel lines.  It has been parked for a few months -- long story, not
relevant.

The engine (2.1 WBX) started easily, and idled well.  However for a
minute or two after driving off, there was a lot of stumbling.  Then,
suddenly, the engine started running well, and did so for the rest of
the drive (about 15 miles, with a couple of short stops).

A couple of hours later, the same symptoms.

So, there seems to be some problem that affects running under load right
after a cold start-up, but which does not impede the actual starting or
idling.

Thoughts?
