Why does my car stutter when cold.?

Question:
We recently aquired a Citroen BX -1992-petrol -auto choke.
It starts and ticks over ok. When driving for the first 2/3 miles it stutters and hesitates a number of times then seems to be ok after that. Anybody know why it would do this - any advice appreciated.

Your gas in the car has to have a chance to warm up after being left out in the cold. (If it is cold where you are right now) I suggest buy a can of dry gas. Just pour it in your tank and it helps to keep your gas from freezing.

what you really need is half a gallon of petrol (optimax or equivelant) pour liberally all over the car use 1 match to ignite run away, then stand and admire as the BX burns brightly on a cold winters evening (that'll be another heap off the road)
