Default 97 FPS with a lope

I have 375000 miles on my truck. Runs great except for it has recently developed a lope upon starting. Doesn't matter if it hot or cold. anyone have some insight? Thanks

Mine did what you were descirbing back before I replaced my injectors. It would lope a couple times and then smooth out. It would do it so hard in the winter it would actually kill the engine.

Have the injectors ever been replaced?

Gotta get it on a scanner and see some actual values... Everything before that will just be guessing. With those miles, I can only imagine what kind of condition all the parts of the injection system are in.
