Rough Idle when cold

Brian did you clean the MAF wires with electronic parts cleaner? The wires in the MAF are what could cause you some cold start problems, not necessarily the debris on the screen.

Yup, cleaned it with MAF sensor cleaner

Ok

qtips and alcohol to scrub the more tenacious debris?

im gonna bet an inj oring/single cylinder vac leak or a clogged/streaming injector

scan misfire counts on a cold start?

When I cleaned my maf, I actually had to take it apart to clean the front side of the wires. Looking in from the side without a screen they looked nice and clean. But when I took it apart, the side facing the screen was caked with shit. I just cleaned them with a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol, took care of the idle issues I was having.

If that doesn't help, try to get a scan tool on it and look at the live data. First thing in the morning before starting it, take a look at the ect and iat. They should be identical, if not within a couple degrees. If they aren't, you know you've got a skewed sensor. Also I'm gonna say this issue has nothing to do with the o2 sensors because the computer doesn't even look at them until it is in closed loop.
