Stutter start?

Hey guys, I just bought a 95 powerstroke, it cranks right over fine however for the first 2 or 3 seconds, it stutters and then clears right up and idles great. It does this warm and cold. Is this just air in the fuel? It doesnt smoke and it only does it for a max of 3 seconds and then goes right into a perfect idle. let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

It could be a lot of different things. ICP getting oil in the plug, IPR orings going bad but if I had to guess its the CPS acting up. That's crankcase position senor, I just bought one of these for a spare. Its a cheap way to see if that's the problem.
