Default 2001 Ram 2500 360 Idle issues

I have an 01 Ram with the 360 in it. Im having trouble a few mins after i start it up. Runs perfectly fine for a few mins then starts throwing a fit and wants to stall out and sometimes does stall out. But once i let it run for around 10 mins it runs fine and drives down the road perfectly fine. Just changed cap and rotor today and did the pluges a few months ago.. Any hel would be much appreciated

Unplug the front O2 sensor, and see if the problem disappears. If it does, replace the sensor.

well so far that seems to be my problem..I started it up like usual about 10 mins before i get ready to leavt.It sat their and idled fine,got in it and hit the gas a few times and took off and seems to be running perfectly fine..Im gonna give it a day or 2 to see if it continues to run fine because after i changed the cap and rotor and first fired it up it seemed fine but the problem came back the second time i started it back it..but keeping my fingers crossed,but i think that is definitely my problem..Ill check back in a day or two to let u know..thanks again for the help,its greatly appreciated my friend
