After about 2 minutes of driving on a cold morning the starts to blurble and rumble and lose power to the point where i need to be in low gears to even move, after a few minutes it drives like normal.
Sounds like its misfiring to me. Could it be the automatic choke staying on? or not coming on?
I changed the plugs not long ago and they were black, which means overfuling?
Can anyone shed any light?
Thanks for any help.

Im getting similar problems where i hear burbling coming from the exhaust but as of yet no loose of power.
Ive been reccommended to change the fuel filter, but going to change sparks and leads sametime though.
Maybe try the fuel filter!?

Nah it's not. Never had a problem like this myself.
I'd try the coolant temp sensor.

Aye this was what was causing the problem on my old one 
Had the same symptoms, this is in a way controlling the "automatic choke"
Drives supercharged Tec with torque
