Unless someone can provide solid proof that warming your car up to full operating temp before taking off helps, I am going to continue doing what I do. I dont just take off right away by any means, but im not going to wait that long for the car to warm up. Dont get me wrong, it probably is better to get up to 170 degrees before moving, but how much? Until I see proof, Im putting trust in the synthetic oil and driving it.
I know many people (mostlly girls), about 2 seconds after starting up, they take off like there is no tomorrow. I have never seen them have any major failures with their motors.

I also take off 2 seconds after starting but I'm very easy on the gas until the whole car warms up. The jerking problem gets worse in colder weather so let the clutch out slow and go easy on the gas

My Throttle body is spotless and if i don't let the car warm up to 110- 120F before driving it does the same thing. My car doesn't move unless it hit's 110F water temp or higher.

My guess is that its caused by the engine flooding and stallling for a split second and restarting.
These cars run rich and with the cold it stay in a closed loop (sensor input ignored by the ecm)
until it sees I thing a 12 deg change in engine temp.
This closed loop was programmed for a stock car and with your mods it probably is a issue when its cold out.

cold starts and not letting the car warm up, is not healthy on a car, you should always let your temps get up, I won't move mine until its well over 100 degrees(usually 140-160)... if you don't have time in the mornings.........wake up a little earlier and make time, your car will love you for it
