Have you had a tune up gone on it lately?Also has the throttle body been cleaned lately?If not try those things first.Then if you still have a problem check fuel pressure.Try putting a bottle of dry gas in and make sure there is no water in the gas.

No Sir, i have not done either of those. However yeaterday i did put supreme gas instead of unleaded and i added gas treatment and it seemed to help it ALOT. Now this morning was a little warmer (40 degrees) than it has been, but it did not sputter as bad or die on me this morning.

You should do a tune up including Dist. cap,rotor,wires and plugs.Also replace the fuel filter.
