	My '79 Plymouth Champ suffered such similar symptoms twice.
The first time it was the exhaust gas recirculation valve (EGR) that
openning too soon and dumping relatively unburnable exhust back into
the cylinders, which leaned the air/fuel mixture, causing the engine
to stumble until warm. A nasty side effect was the car would buck and
surge something terrible. ( bruises and whiplash :-) )
The second time was something the opposite, the choke was not openning
fast enough, enriching the mixture, and causing a rough idle. However
it was accompanied with smelling black exhaust.
	Maybe this will help.
