My van had a very similar problem.
It is the temperature sensor in the radiator (or t-stat housing)
There are two temperature sensors - one controls the gauge only.
The other, the one you need to replace, controls the computer. It is quite
cheap.... <$10
Make sure you get the correct one.

... When it is cold and the ambient temp is cold, it idles really low to the
point that you have to keep a foot on the gas. After it gets up to the
normal operating temp it idles real fast ( 2- 3 K).
