Upon acceleration the engine "misses" and the

when the engine is cold all the fluids in the engine are "cold" and it is a little thicker than it is when it is warm so just start it a little earlier than you normaly would to give it all time to get warm, another benifit to this is no cold car to climb into.

Ac blows warm air onb acceleration

Sounds like throttle A/C cutoff. Check at what point A/C stops. Full throttle, 3/4, half, etc,... You can disable the throttle A/C cutoff. This is designed for increased performance. Check manual for your cars setup.
