Missing cylinder during cold start

The last couple of weeks I've been trubled by difficult cold starts. The engine starts up nicely, but then something happens and there's a slight rattle. I've been advised to then stop the engine and wait a few minutes for the plugs to "settle", then try again. Om the second try everything shakes as if a cylinder isn't firing. Revving the engine for a few moments usually helps (but never higher than 3000 rpm), a slight thud from the exhaust is then audible. Then the car runs perfectly the rest of the day!
I changed the engine oil last saturday, and I use an alcoholic additive to the petrol to get rid of water present in the tank.
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Curious norwegian Saab owner!
