Default RE: Car wont idle right till warms up

It sounds like either the EGR, 02 Sensors, or vaccuum switch (brass thing with vacuum hoses that is attached to thermostat housing). Emissions systems run in what's called a 'Closed-loop' setting until after the car warms up to a certain temp or for a specific amount of time. Once the sensors warm up they provide the feed-back 'Open-loop' communication needed to adjust the air/fuel mixture and timing.

Pull the codes, and check the check those components out. It wouldn't hurt to check all your vacuum lines to make sure there isn't a leak in one of them.
