Check / replace engine coolant temp sensor .Check no vac hoses / pipes leaking .

not Automatic, will check ECT. hoses seem fine, thanks

if it is an auto first thing to check is transmission fluid level

ECT lets ECU know how much fuel to supply to engine , more fuel on cold start , like old choke .

could even be an oxygen sensor fault
