car doesnt warm up right when motor is cold

ok when i go to start my max up after the motor is "cold" (if u could call 95+ degress cold) it wont go up to 1500 to warm up it kinda stumbles at like 1000 and then goes up. however if the car is already warmed up when i go to start it, it revs up to 1500 like normal and then comes back down to 700.

plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz help!?!?!?!

thanks

Maybe a dirty throttle body, clogged fuel filter, bad TPS? nm

well i know its not a fuel filter b/c that has already been replaced.

ohhhh also i noticed it kinda made this hissing sound when the motor is cold and its tyring to warm up if that helps.

so far throttle body cleaning seems the most logical, but what about my idle air control or fast idle valve (if we have one). how do I clean those??
