Question Throttle Position Sensor - 6.0L

Guys - I still need some help regarding the TPS on my 05 model. When it the engine is cold, it seems to start just find. You get that first engine burst over of RPMs you normally get. However, once it starts and reaches operating temp, when you try to start, the engine starts very, very slowly, keeps run, and running slowly, and then seems to catch up to speed so to speak. It reminds me of an old John Deere tractor we had 50 years ago where you had to adjust the hand throttle to make it run faster. It just seems like it needs some input from somewhere.

Also, there is still some sense of lag when you are driving and start to accelerate from a stop light. Once moving, things are good to go. Could this be the TPS? Thanks for any input! I hope I have described this symptom so you can make sense of it.
