Runs good from cold, but once warmed up it has a flat spot just above idle when I give it some throttle. When pulling up hill at low revs {1500-2200} it jerks and won't pull cleanly till revs get up.

SOURCE: 76 volvo 240 car idles and low speed is rough,

It could be the filter. Has the fuel been changed after storage? I would also thing the Carburetor or the fuel injectors might need to be cleaned.

SOURCE: saab 9-5 need to give alittle throttle for cold engine start

the idle air control valve may be bad or just needs cleaned out. idle air control valve acts the same as a choke. if it is messing up it will cause engine not to run right.

2003 Mercury Mountaineer. It runs well while cold but once it warms up, it misses on take off and idles roughly but still runs.

Clean the Throttle Body and Mass Air Flow Sensor. Also check for DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes).

What would cause a rough idle when cold and at idle but runs great once warm

I'd be pulling the spark plugs and checking for condition, gap, fouling, etc.

the iac sensor is along the side of throttle body , did you give the throttle plate area a good cleaning out this is where the air path is for the IAC sensor , a lot of idle problems have been fixed with a can of throttle body cleaner and few good squirts of the stuff down the hole

I am haveing trouble with my 1996 Mazda B2300, When I start my truck after its been sitting for any length of timeI have to rev the engine to get it started, I have to continue reving until engine is warm...

Replace the temperature sending unit/sensor. This sensor tells the computer to put the engine into cold start mode and it then sets idle a bit higher and puts a bit more fuel into the engine to keep it running without having to touch the throttle. Once it's warm, sensor tells computer to go to normal run mode and it's done. No problem.

The car rev's from 1500 to 2000 r p m's once warm up and down

I had the same problem in my 97 civic dx. Once the car warmed up it would rev up and down whenever the car was idling over and over again. To fix it I found out that the spring on the throttle body was sticky and by spraying it with lubricant (WD-40 or something similar) and working it into the spring until could stretch and contract freely, I never had the problem again.
