Why does my engine run rough when cold but not when warm?
The catalytic converter needs to warm up to a running temperature and various operation in the engine devote energy or fuel to this process.

One of the "warming up" components is malfunctioning, most likely the pre- or post injection of the fuel into the engine which is one of several methods of "warming up" your catalytic converter.
