1996 GMC Sonoma Hesitates

Engine Performance problem
1996 GMC Sonoma 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

My 96 GMC Sonoma hesitates for the first 10 minutes after starting it while the engine is cold. Once it gets thru the warm up it starts and runs fine. Doesn't seem to have the power I think it should have either.
