What temperature do you mean by 'warm'? Operating temperature (~75C) or something less than that? Under specific warm-up conditions, the ECU retards the timing significantly to rapidly heat up the catalytic converters via elevated exhaust gas temperature (EGT). This causes low-rpm hesitation/power loss and stumbling (RPM drop) on transition from idle to throttle. The symptoms go away abruptly above 2600rpm and when coolant temp reaches 55C. The ECU only does this when coolant temp is between 30 and 55C, so the hesitation may not be there when you first start driving, but will start happening once coolant temp hits 30C. Sam
