Default Idle issue at startup, anybody have a clue why?

Every now and then at startup my S4 idles at ~2000rpm. When I drive it and shift it stumbles between shifts. It takes about a minute or two to go away, but is annoying. Any clue what it could be before I have the dealership diagnose it? BTW I'm Stage 2+. Thanks in advance.

Default I think your coolant temperature sensor and/or IAT sensor is bad . . .

just a guess after reading about system sensor authority<ul><li><a href="http://66.134.70.69/files/audi/docs/audi%20advanced%20engine%20diag.pdf">http://66.134.70.69/files/audi/docs/audi%20advanced%20engine%20diag.pdf</a</li></ul>

Default 2nd. had that issue before and it's the engine's way of heating up faster

at least that's what my dealer told me and i've had no other issues.

Thanks a lot guys. I do think its the sensors that are bad. I'll have the dealership check it out. If it was the winter air then why would it start up half way through the winter? I've had this car a few winters now and its never done it, so I think its a sensor. Thanks for your input.
