is it stock?

if you upgraded something like injectors and it's not tuned cold start then this will occur

When the motor is cold, the idle speed should higher like around 1200 rpm. If not, adjust the 'fast idle' cam.

well its not just low but also when you are driving it cold (lets say at 3500 rpms) it will feel like you completely let off the accelerator for about a second and a half and then it kicks right back up

- Make sure the spark plugs are clean.- Check for a vacuum leak in the intake system.- Make sure ignition timing is set correctly.
