Has your Stang ever run really rough when cold?

Twice now I have started my car up in the cold of winter and it acted like it wanted to stall and I had to rev it up a few times before it was running ok.

I have an 06 GT with Pypes Off-road H, MAC axlebacks, an MMR CAI and an SCT tune.

I'm wondering if this problem has anything to do with the tune or if stock GTs have done this as well.

Bone stock and I've started it at -10F, it started just fine. It kind of "burped" once right when it lit, but then was fine and idled at 1500. I let it sit for a few minutes and then drove it...all was just fine.

I had this happen twice in the last 2 weeks. Same thing, acted like it wanted to stall for just a minute after start. It was down to the teens here I think.

My car is stock, and I just turned 6,000 miles. Twice in the last month, it has backfired the first time that I shifted into second.

Is your car stock? Yeah, it was in the 20s I think when it happened here.

I only had a temperature as low as like 20 here in VA lately, and it starts fine, idles at 1500 for a minute or so, and then it is good.

I do have one issue that came up, and that sounded like a power steering or suspension issue. With the steering wheel straight, and moving slightly, I could rock the wheel back and forth about 5 degrees or so, and I heard a popping noise...but I didn't have the problem this morning.

mine pops all the time when it's cold.... little burbles, sometimes they get loud... it's just the fuel mixture when it's cold, cold pipes, cold everything.. I think it sounds coo....
