Default Strange engine stumble / hesitation
My Accord has a strange hesitation that only happens on a cold start, and it only happens sometimes.

I'll start the car and drive off. Everything is normal at that point. After about a quarter mile of driving, the engine stumbles while accelerating for about a second, then it's back to normal for the rest of the drive. Doesn't happen again during the drive, and doesn't happen again under warm start conditions. Only happens sometimes on cold starts. And it only happens about a quarter mile after I take off.

Any ideas where to start diagnosing? I'm perplexed.
