I was planning on doing an intake setup and upgradeing the intercooling system this weekend, but may hold off until after the dealer visit.
Mine does this from time to time also - I 'blip' the throttle and it clears up.
However, with a modern EFI car, you shouldn't have to use any throttle to level out the cars idle until it is warm (like you may have to on a tempramental carb'd car).
I related it to my long cranking/hard start problem, which I believe is caused by the auxiliary fuel pump (according to member AtomHeart who had his fixed).
Does your car ever crank for an excessive amount of time before firing?
