Default wierd stutter this morning when starting xB in cold.

for the first time since Ive owned this thing, have like 12k miles on it already. I parked the car outside last night rather than in the garage. When I turned it on this morning for like 5-10 seconds the idle was extremely rough ( it was at its normal speed of 1000-1500, when you first turn it on) but the engine seemed like it was stuttering, everything was fine once I got out of the driveway.
It even stuttered as the engine turned over, from ignition.
This was the coldest weather its been in yet, it was like 40 last night here in Phoenix, AZ.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Default no

did you have your defrost on when you started you xB? I know that the defroster is linked to the a/c, mabey causing the engine to stumble....

I always start my xB when the radio,lights and fan is off.......when you turn all those ACC on, you can hear the engine start to stumble!

nope i have all those things off when I turn on car. I just hope it dont happen again =/

It may have been the fact someone else moved my car earlier in the day, and they left it in 1st ... I usually leave it nutral when parked, maybe my foot wasnt all the way down on clutch when I started it =/ who knows I forgot lol.
