Bad start up
Ok so sometimes when I start my car it sounds like it has monster cams for about a minute then goes back to normal. Why is it doing this?

Stop stuffing muffins in your throttle body.

I would start with the TB then. Remove and clean it with some TB cleaner from the auto parts store. Post some pictures of what it looks like before the cleaning

You may also want to check/clean your MAF (Mass Air Flow Sensor) with electrical cleaner.
