q-jet misfire

I have q-jet on my 305 another car, caprice 87 and starts nice even in cold weather. But when i start the engine, the car is shaking and the acceleration is not smooth. All this is gone after one or two mile of driving, then runs like a champion, i have no problem with gas mileage or anything, just it runs rough when cold. What do you suggest?
