Slight miss at idle

I have a slight idle miss on start up. If I just bleep the throttle it will clear out. New plugs, air filter oil change and VANOS solenoid cleaning recently. Any ideas are welcome.

Check the MAF. Likely is just dirty or has worn out. Also, make sure you have the correct oil in, could be the cause during cold starts.

are you tuned? did you install spark plugs with a shorter gap? if so, this is common.

I have some MAF sensor cleaner I can try.
If that don't help I'll try a new one.
I use the correct oil.
Thanks

Is the issue fully resolved? if it still persists a little, I would recommend giving all other sensors a good cleaning.
