rough startup

i know this issue has been touched on a little bit in recent posts but mine is seems a little different.
allright, lately when i start my truck up, it's runs really rough for about 30 seconds. it kind of stalls, but doesnt die. the rpm is at about 500 probably and when i give it a gas it takes a second for it to rev up. this only happens on start up and no other time. any idea waht caused this??

i put some fuel injector cleaner in my tank but it was the cheap stuff. do you think it has something to w/ the fuel injectors being dirty, or hwat???

When does it do this, hot or cold engine?
Have you pulled code(s)?
Any black smoke out the tailpipe?

well it seems to do it if it hasnt been running for very long. if it's been running for like 10 minutes then i go play disc golf for 1/2 hour and come back it seems to be rough.
yes i did pull the codes and the codes that it pulled, umm were something to do w/ highspeed temp control or sumthing.
and no black smoke that im aware of, what are you think

The M.A.F. is also a cause of that. The filament can catch something on it.
