smooth, rough, then smooth idle?

So when i start my car (with a ka24de) it idles fine for 10-20 seconds and then it starts to bounce, low idles for a little bit, then idles normal after a while. Is this a vacuum leak? IACV? TPS? I researched and people just seem to have rough idle but mine goes away after around 5-9 minutes? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

There are probably 20+ different things to narrow this down.

What I would do:
1. compression test
2. clean IACV
3. clean all accesible plumbing and the maf and air filter
4. tune up, plugs, wires, cap, rotor, pcv valve, fuel filter
5. check wiring / plugs / connections for age/corrosion
6. check battery terminals, ground cables, remove and inspect and re-seat all connections

that should get you started!

what else it could be:
malfunctioning emissions equipment (leaky EGR?)
vacuum leak
failing fuel regulator
aging maf sensor (or filthy maf)
needs a tune up
corrosion on ECU plug

other stuff I posted above

From you description, kinda sounds like the cts.
It does kinda the same thing when too hot or too cold, even though your not technically overheating or over cooled.

Would you be able to get a video with audio of it doing this. You could also pull codes.

Im not totally sure now, but you do have a check engine light on so, pull codes and see what up with that.
