Default Totally stumped

Hello everyone, I am looking for some experienced Ranger owner help.
I have a Ford Ranger 4x4 XLT 2.5 turbo diesel, it has given me many years of faultless operation until now, when I start it from cold I have a misfire that requires me to rev it or it will stall but after a short time when warm it runs perfectly, but I have just found that if I rest my foot on the clutch pedal ( do not have to press it) the misfire dissapears and it runs perfect again, if I drive it from cold I cannot accelerate without it jerking ,jumping and kangarooing down the road until I lift off the throttle, again after a few miles it runs great, but if I rest my foot on the clutch again, just taking out the free play it runs perfect. I have cleaned the EGR valve replaced the glow plugs, fuel filter and air filter, used a diesel injector treatment, none of which make a difference. It is the link with the clutch pedal that has me confused so if any of you experts can help, please let me know. Looking forward to hearing from anyone, thanks for reading.
