It could be one thing in particular or a bunch of things acting together. How old are the ignition components? Such as spark plugs, wires, distributor and rotor? A good ignition tune-up can run miracles. Run some fuel injector cleaner through the fuel tank as well. I'd seafoam the sucker as well. Do a search on that if you're interested.

A few year ago I had the same on my 2000 EX. Finally a few months after the cold start symptoms started my battery went dead. After changing the battery everything went to normal.

My advise, go to autozone or pepboys and have the battery and charging system checked for free.
