rough start up with check engine light

Hey everyone, I have a 96 F-250 and for the past two morrnings I have gone out and started it up and after about two mins of running fine the truck starts to run really rough the RPM's that are at around 800 when cold (goes down to 650 when truck is warm) shoots down to about 700 the check engine light turns on and it starts running rough. this lasts from 5 seconds the first time to about 10 the second time it happened but when i turn the truck off then on again all is good. its been cold in the morrnings here in BC sitting at about 0 degrees C and i dont have any chips just a ford computer and havent replaced anything lately though i have an oil change coming in 200KM. any ideas as to what this is?
