My car gets bitchy in the cold. If it sits too long in the cold, it gets upset when i try to wake it up .. Like me, or you in the mornings, say. It's natural..

Well its been damn cold here, and my car usually starts up with no probs, but right after i start it, it won't really rev up much, kinda stumbles alot. This only is like this for about 30 seconds at most, and revs up normal after that. I think its the initial start up, and the motor just needs a little heat. Also try this to help. When your going to start it, turn your key all the way to "ON" but dont crank the starter. Keep it on for like 3 or 4 seconds, and if everything is quiet in the car, you will hear your fuel pump turn on. Giving it that few seconds before you crank it over, gives the pump time to bring up the fuel pressure and should help a little as far as how much crank time it takes to start it. Try it and see how that works...

get bigger wires. I got 9mm and mine started better then. Could be the alternator or battery getting weaker too tho. Don't know what to tell u. Good luck finding the problem.
