From Cold Start, car has trouble holding idle until warm. Why?

From Cold Start, car has trouble holding idle until warm. Why? After sitting overnight or a few days my 1999 Camry le 4 cylinder Automatic has trouble holding an idle. I have to hold the gas down for a while until the car warms up and then its fine. Is that the fix itself, is it worth fixing, what is causing this problem.

I have the same problem as yours. Did you solve this problem? Did you have more than usual smoke coming out of tailpipe that smells stronger when this happened to your car? How did you fix your car? The mechanic cleaned the throttle body and checked the oil and he said its good. Was there a pump or component that's bad? I don't have any check engine light on. This happened after another mechanic changed the serpentine belt because its slipping.
