Need some help, recently my car started having trouble idling when it was cold. When I start the car cold it will not idle, i have to hold my foot on the gas for a good minute or 2 before it will finally idle on its own. I have tried just putting it in gear and driving before it will idle on its own but then it will not go anywere, the car starts to bog out and hesitates. Anyone have any ideas?

See "Surging Idle Checklist for help with all your idle problems. The first two posts contain all the updates to the fixes. I continue to update it as more people post fixes or ask questions.
