I checked the service report and it didn't say. Basically during a cold start, the car's idle would be rough while the rpm dropped from cold to warm idle and always ran fine after that. Never got a check engine light. The SA said there weren't any codes when they ran the diagnostic, but I made them keep the car overnight and they witnessed the rough idle the next morning. They wound up keeping the car for almost a week and its been running fine since.

EDIT: I re-read your OP and my symptoms were pretty much identical to yours.

Buy some MAF sensor cleaner and clean it. If rough idle goes away after cleaning, you have your culprit. Usually, it goes back to running rough after a day or two, so you'll probably need a new MAF sensor anyway. Hope this helps.
