Dirty idle jet. Takes 1 minute to remove and give a blow job to clear. My Mrs does it all the time.

Check for vac leaks

The fact it gets worse makes me think it has something to do with the choke / air fuel ratio

And if that doesn't work - try the blow job :)

seems to rev ok but as you accelerate in 4th this is when it gets rough and in the last few days of cold there has been no problem.....
