Ya, foul/dirty sparkplugs were my issue. I have daily short trips (to/from work = 2.5 miles..)
My cold-starts gets worst (like your situation) as I get closer to 15K miles after changing the sparkplugs. I don't notice significant increase in life between Platinum and copper plugs, and since its easy enough to change, I change my plugs every 10K or so.
"Decarboning" your car may helps, but I think thats simply adding injector cleaners (techron ~$10 a bottle at Walmart) and maybe spray cleaning your throttle body/air intake thingy... The dealership want $150 for doing that to my car, so I decline. I've yet to clean my TB/Air intake, but use a bottle of Techron just before an oil change (~7000miles,~3-4months, mobile 1 oil).
I only get that studdering near my sparkplug change intervals...
