Rough idle and bad cold starts

After intalling the 3.0 the tour had a slight rough idle. Outside temp was about 50-60 degrees. After a few weeks it went away. My thoughts at the time were that the ECM had to "adjust". The past few days have been on the cooler side back to 50-60 degrees again. Now the tour has a hard start, it starts but can hardly stay running for the first 5 seconds then it clears up but the rough idle came back. I'm wondering if the weather has anything to do with it. It might just need a tune:shrug: Anyone else ever had the same problem?
