Engine running rough at startup.

Hey, I posted this in the TPI forum, but no responses. On cold starts the engine runs rough till it warms up. Seems like it wants to die. It will die if I have to turn sharp right away, which happens sometimes backing out of my apartment's parking lot. Any ideas on what it could be?

Seems to be common to some extent in the TPI cars. Mine does this some, for a few seconds also. Complete tune up, new injectors, cleaned MAF screens and TB. Still not just right. Maybe some day someone will figure this out, live with it 'till then I guess.
