It could be the front oxygen sensor (on the rear exhaust manifold) or a bad MAF sensor.

The 2 of them read and tell the computer the air/fuel ratio to use.

The reason that it doesn't happen during a cold start is because they are maxed out until the car gets up to operating temperature.

Welcome! What part of Ohio are you from? I am originally from the SW side of Columbus. Grove City. I hope you get the help you needed.

I'd go with this, too. When my upstream sensor went out I had some starting issues as well, until I replaced it.
