I would test/adjust your tps and see if it is good. Having to give it gas to start is a strong symptom of a bad tps.

tps= throttle position sensor, found on the throttle body

Issue only when up to temp, and a backfire at manifold. You have fuel delivery issues that I'm going to blame on the o2 sensor. Remember, these are still opinions, not facts
