Default Rough idle only at startup... did I cause this!?

It seems that only after I ran some fuel injector cleaner though my car did the rough idling at startup begin. Was this bad of me to do? I never heard of this being a problem... but maybe it is. Maybe it's coincidental that this happened at the same time...

I heard that cleaning the MAF could be a fix, but isn't that for rough idle all the time, not just at startup?

I have searched for this probrm, and I found stuff.. but I wanted to add that I ran fuel injector cleaner through it just in case that could have been a problem. I've heard that you arent supposed to run injector through some cars, like my Vette.

Thanks!
