A bent pushrod or leaky valve wouldn't run good cold either. It could be a bad sensor that doesn't affect anything until the pcm goes into closed loop operation.

make sure all your vacuum lines are in good shape and check your IAC(idle air control) sensor on your throttle body above your TPS sensor.
