sounds like you need to adjust your throttle cable and clean out the Throttle body passages

how does the car idle when warmed up? @ what rpm?

the problem maybe you need a simple tune up ...but it sounds to me like the motor is getting choked off on cold start..metal has not expanded yet and all the gunk is blocking up the fast idle passages
