Brian's Response:
<<Check all of the electrical connections under the hood.  Pay particular
attention to the connections going to any sensor at the front of the motor,
and to the bank of injector grounds at the rear of the RHS cylinder head.
Just as a matter of routine I'd recommend that you take all of these apart,
clean and detail them, then reassemble.
My money says your stumbling problems will go away if you do this.>>

Wanna bet?  I'd put the bucks on a less than perfect functioning AFM flap.
Kinda hesitating when cold, then no problem.  That's my current experience
with the 3L Verde.  But it's so mild and short lived, that's not worth
opening it up for now, so I can't confirm to claim my money.

Good Luck
