2005 Nissan Frontier  6 cyl   2WD

I noticed a few weeks ago that after starting my truck it almost seemed to want to stall.  Thought it was a fluke.  The problem eventually got worse and now it's almost a daily thing.

The truck drives fine otherwise.  Never feels sluggish while driving, idling, or stopped at a light.  Never feels like it's going to stall once it gets past the initial startup. 

Thought it was the gas and added dri-gas and fuel injector cleaner.  Still have the problem.  It happens whether it's below freezing or above.  ONLY happens after starting.

Engine turns over.  Brand new battery - less than a year old.  No lights come on the dash, except the Check Engine light flashes as it is in the stalling process, then goes out.

I'd like to get a better idea of what it could be before I have to bring it to a garage and have parts replaced that don't fix the problem.

First off...my air filter isn't an oil-impregnated Nissan air filter and I have 66,000 mi on the truck.

Second.... the mechanic had the truck all day yesterday and it didn't stall once.  I can't believe it.  Today will be my first day with it back and I can guarantee it'll stall.  The mechanic said he couldn't get any codes off it.

What is the "clear self learn control and
Idle Air Volume relearn, both accomplished at your dealer" as mentioned above???
