92 9000S Cold Throttle Response Issue

Hi folks - Hope you can give me some advice on my wife's 92 9000S...
On some occasions, when the car is not warmed up (Cold - it's winter here), the engine will not respond to the throttle well. It will raise in RPM's slightly, but not like it should. Power goes down as well. It stalled on her once. The "Check Engine" light comes on after a few seconds. The only way to get it back to running properly is to press down the gas pedal fully and then it will suddenly run respond and rev at high RPM's. Then, the car will run fine and the "Check Engine" light will turn off.
Having driven many old carbureted V8's, it almost acts like it's flooded - getting too much gas and needs extra air to burn it off. Strange really, as a 9000 is pretty different than a 85 Caprice Wagon in terms of engines... and everything else.
I checked the vacuum hoses and they all seem fine. Do you think that the throttle is sticking? Or, is this fuel pump/prepump related? Or does this sound like a fuel filter/FPR issue?
I'm hoping it's simple. I'm getting tired of working on this car - plus, it's cold out.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
PS, it's not a TCS car and it has about 223k miles on it.
