Missing engine on a cold start... please help!

Hi, I recently bought 1993 E350 Club Wagon 5.8. On mild days there is a power loss and missing on the first start of the day. But it goes away under a minute or two of driving as the engine seems to warm up. Yesterday it was below 10 degrees Centigrade here in Toronto and it gave me trouble starting in the first place. After two to three failed attempts and a very long self it started but with a lot of missing and it took a lot longer for it to fade away. Like, around maybe 3 to 4 minutes. But as soon as I started driving it on road it faded away under a minute to a normal drive. Like it always does even on milder days.
This is my first Ford vehicle and I am very new to these monsters so I have absolutely no clue where to look for and how. Any assitance and help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...
