98 maxima engine problem

I have a 98 maxima se automatic with 99000KM
I ve always used high octane 91 gaz.
I change spark plugs (platnium bosch)and put new air and fuel filter.
Since gasoline price in Montreal Canada is high
sometimes, I decided to put regular(87 octane).

Ever since then, when i star my car in the mourning, it looks like it s going to stall for a few seconds and then it catches up and it s find for the rest of the day.

the next fill up i put high octane and it still
does it when it s cold in the mourning (-2/-5 celcius)

Any sugestion?

Get rid of the bosch plugs.Clean your throttle body.
