i had a similar condition on an old mail jeep i bought from the postal service..when it was cold..started and wouldnt go anywhere..then after it warmed up enough,would go..and once hot was like normal. turned out the filter had a crack in the side where it drew it up into the valve body,so sucked air.check the fluid with the stick,if its dark and smells burned,its toast..red and smaells like oil,drop pan and check it.
