My truck idles funny when it's cold
It lopes. It's like it's not running on all four. Then as soon as I start driving it, it smooths out and runs fine the rest of the time. Any ideas of what might be the cause?

Compression should be good because it runs like a bat very soon after startup.
I don't know about the cold start injector.
Plugs are about 3 weeks old.
Wires are pretty old, but it seems like if they were a problem that it would persist, not just right after cold start.
I bet it is an air leak. Now that you mention it I've had that problem more than once and it's very similar. I just don't understand why it would run fine after a minute or two or even immediately if I just start driving. I'll check it out.
I did the battery airbox location swap not long ago and the air conditioning hoses interfere with the intake hose location making it hard to get it to seal.
