do you warm your car up or just get in and go? if it's cold out you should be waiting a while to drive.

50-60 degrees is warm for a person,, but when a car puts out temps that are over 10 - 20x that hot within minutes, 50 degrees is cold. you should always let it warm up to over 100 at least, problem solved

sounds like plugs fouled and then clearing out once it warms up. Let it warm up before you drive it even if it is 60 degrees
