If your idle speed is set correctly when warm and you are getting a rough cold idle for that long a time period, I'd check into that.

I don't think they did that at the 3K checkup (wasn't listed on my receipt.) I have to take the Strat in for the 600 mile service (it's a tad over that already) and then I'll look into the valve adjustment.
