rough then fast idle during cold starts

During a cold start the engine will idle rough. It feels like its missing. If you push on the gas it sputters a little bit then gains rpm slowly. After playing with the throttle a little bit it switches from being rough to a smooth fast idle until it warms up. This only happens during colder days 40deg or lower.

I'd try a bottle of fuel system cleaner. I like SeaFoam, I think it's the best made.
