This problem can occur, at least in a Honda CVCC engine, if the cam
timing is off.  I had mine rebuilt by one of those "incompetent fools"
and fought a severe hesitation during part of the warmup cycle -- not
fully cold, but maybe two minutes after startup.  I finally was introduced
to a guy who knew his stuff, and he explained that it's one of Honda's
subtleties.  Runs like new, now.
