    Sounds as though it might be temperature related - my first thought is choke, but it looks like you are fuel injected?

    Depending on how your gas is set up, the choke might not affect gas operation. But if injected I can offer nothing, except check the coolant temperature sensor.

    What happens when idling rough if you give it a 'blip' of accelerator?
