I'm the same way. I don't drive it hard until it's warmed up though. unless it's my white XJ then I just wait until it surges. floor it until it goes away.

justin, what did you say that possibly could be? TPS?

dont romp it, but modern fuel injection allows you to drive your car within seconds of starting. The heat being on doesn't mean anything. Heater core wont have hot coolant flowing through it till the thermostat pops, thereby meaning the engine is almost at operating temp.
