Default Stumble on cold start.... getting misfire and car does not want to

idle high on a cold start up. Plugs were replaced a week ago and gapped accordingly. Anythoughts on what else to check?

Default Bad temp sensor maybe?

When mine went bad it was doing the opposite of your problem. It would always idle high for longer than it should.
