There is a thread about that under x-types for rough idle. In most cases it has to do with one of the vacuum hoses. Check the hoses and make sure none of them have a crack, split or maybe a bit loose. I had the same problem the other day. Doesn't idle funny on initial start at about 60 degrees F. But let the temp fall below 50 and it starts choking a bit until it warms up. I couldn't retest the theory on vacuum hoses because the temp hasn't fell back down below 50 lately.

But some of our senior members would definitely point you to some vacuum hoses first.
