Stuttering when cold?

Well my car has been doing this stuttering/bogging for a little while now when its cold. As soon as the car warms up its fine doesn't do it any more. Sometimes has a rough idle when its cold but not always. I'm going to try cleaning the maf. Just wondering if there's any other suggestions?

I have CEL on for fuel tank vent solenoid. I changed the spark plugs a few months ago. Does it on regulaur or premium petrol.

Just looking for some ideas

Thanks.

Just know that cleaning the MAF could potentially fry it and never put anything less than 93 octane fuel in your tank.

there was a thread on this about a week ago, the overwhelming consensus was that it was the intake manifold gasket
