Cold Start Chugging?

I've got a 2000 L, and though the winters in AZ are not cold at all, it seems that when I start my baby up recently, one of the pistons seems to not be fireing. Until the block heats up. If I let hte truck idle in gear and without the break pressed ( so like 5-10 mph) the rpm goggles around alot and I can hear something is not working right. Does anyone else have this problem. She has never had this problem the last 2 winters.

Also, can anyone else hear their fuel injectors clicking away when you're driving and give it a little more gas. I hear REALLY hear them click-click-click-click-clicking away. I was worried that it might be an exhaust leak so I put a screw driver up to the rail and the injectors themselves and I could hear that they were the source of the noise. Are mine dirty? They started to make the noise after I put in my JBA shorties about 2.5 years ago.

Have you ever cleaned your IAC Spade$

Mine gave me problems last winter,
mine would stall on a cold start, and if not stall,
the idle would roam all over, jumping higher and lower.

Cleaned the IAC and it was back to normal.

2 second job, cant hurt, worth a try
