Rough Idle @ start

I'm starting to have a problem that many other orgers seem to describe. I start the car it idles pretty rough until I get it running then it goes away. Any ideas what it could be? I tried searching for it and found nothing.

Clogged fuel filter maybe? Have you tried to rev it after you start up to see if it runs smoother? Thats happened to me a few times but its always when i try to start it up to quick(turn key and let go to soon). But after I rev it its fine.

A EGR that is stuck OPEN will cause a rough idle and only a rough idle. Worth taking a peek at that valve.
