Pretty vauge there.. What engine? did your check engine light come on? could be several things. Getting cold could be the fuel filter is cloged. You'd get that in the morning gas is thicker when its cold and it will make your fuel system not work well when its cold. thats my guess..

Just with that description, sounds like the transmission. I would return it to stock if it's still under warranty, and get it to the dealer.

P.S. I assume you returned it to stock and it does the same?
