When starting the car after it's been parked for an hour or so, the engine struggles to maintain normal idling rpm. Engine stalls if I don't step on the throttle to rev it a little. After a few seconds of revving, engine returns to normal idle. No hiccups after, even when i restart engine immediately after this or when I start it in the morning cold. It seems to occur when car is fairly warm. Any thoughts folks? I suspect the MAF- no CELS though, and car drives normally aside from this odd behavior.
