As Phil said you could check your TPS and IACV, but my friends car does the same thing and all the mechs. he went to said that its just the car warming itself up slightly before take off. As you should NOT let the car warm before driving and to just drive it gently when you cold start. Now I'm not sure as to exactly where this info came from but I have tried this quite a few times and I have noticed the car warms quicker, and it doesn't take nearly the gas to get it warm compared to letting it sit and idle warm. Hopefully you can get the problem solved and save some money before the mech takes it in. But I think you should re-read the whole post and give the easier things a shot as it may just solve the problem before she becomes a money pit.

EDIT: My Friend i was referring to drives a 2000 2.4L ( Just for reference )
