Hi Rcalver1,
Do you have any codes?
I suspect that the PCM is getting some incorrect info from one of the input sensors it uses to determine correct air/fuel ratio. Keep in mind, the PCM needs to know how much air is coming in so that it knows about how much fuel to add to achieve this correct ratio.
When you start the engine and it is cold it is in open loop and not looking at the sensors to determine what it needs. The PCM uses a preprogrammed set of numbers to determine best operation.
After it warms up and goes to closed loop it starts looking at the sensors and if one of these is incorrect it will start running poorly.
Here are a couple of guides that will walk you through the common causes:

Start with any codes and that will hopefully point us to the culprit. If no codes, we can figure out the best course of action.
