Greg: Just solved a very similar stumble-at-cold-start problem, but not until it got worse. Checked all the fuel/idle system to no avail. Finally the problem advanced to partial stalling on the go. Mine was the O2 sensor. Unplugged it and the stall and prewarm up stumble went away. A new sensor fixed it. Stephen >Wanted to run this by the group.
