I doubt that any of those will cause a motor to start and then slowly come right.

I don't suppose it could have ahead gasket going out, causing water on the plugs at start up?

The other thing that can give strange symptoms is leaking capacitors in the ecu. The electrolyte runs over other circuits and shorts them out intermittently and some times they can vary as the fluid dries and gets wet again with humidity. For the cost in time and effort I would pull the ecu and inspect it inside for leaking capacitors, burnt resistors, cracked circuit boards.
Yes got to agree, that does change the situation.

It sounds like the ECU is having trouble picking up the cam position sensor voltage. Needs a higher rpm to develop the voltage.

Till then it is on three cylinders.
