rough idle when starting warm

Ok, I have been having an idling issue. Several years ago I replaced all my intake gaskets due to p0171 & p0174 codes. It fixed the issue. However, the codes, about 7 years later, have returned during cold weather along with a rough idle. this happens during cold weather only. Now that it has warmed up outside, the truck has developed another curious issue. I will go for a drive, shut it off, then restart. The idle will be very rough for about 1 minute then smooth out and run fine. this warm weather rough idle only happens when the engine is already warm. Any ideas what might cause this? I'm thinking it may be best to simply replace all the gaskets again. But this issue seems like it might not be vacuum leak related, the truck has no problem idling after it has had a minute to run. I have checked the hoses for vacuum leaks/cracks and sprayed a bottle of carb cleaner on the engine with no definite results. Any input is appreciated.
