Default Engine start up Idle problem

I have experienced during start up a few seconds after it starts the rpm's drop dramaticly and seems like it wants to stall but doesnt its at like 200-400rpms and when i touch the gas pedal it comes right back up to normal and i think its like the idle control module is gone bad or its something else I live in ohio its cold now i already changed the fuel filter a week ago its a 98 cobra with 38K and its all stock so if anyone might have an idea and there are no codes or check engine lights either

Mine sounds familar but it's occassionally and it would start erratically fora few seconds then be revving really low but if I give it a little gas it's fine. Since it needs a tune-up and I want to give ita fresh start I'm replacing the spark plugs and fuel filter soon anyway so I'm hoping that would go away
