car warming up question

Today I started up my car for the first time in 3 days and as soon as I started it up I instantly drove out of my parking spot to go to another parking spot and I noticed the car was bucking. The reason for the bucking would be I didn't let the car warm up long enough. Yes or No???

The question is yes or no! Would cold starts on instant go's cause bucking problems?

No, driving a dead cold car will not be the cause of bucking. I don't like to do it for longevity reasons but bucking when cold is gone with chokeless carburetors of the past.

That is not saying your don't actually have something wrong with your car and warming it up solves the bucking problem.
