Default Rough Idle Question

whenever i start my 98 up cold it will run perfect for about a minute... then it will run rough, the rpms dont drop but you can definately tell its not running right by the exhaust, then it goes back to running normal after about thirty seconds or if you give it a little gas and let it drop back to idle

check your idle air control and your throttle position sensor

crank position sensor is always a possibility too but highly unlikely
