Patrol cold idling problem

1998 Patrol 4500. Problem with a "dead spot" on the beginning of accelerator travel at low revs when the engine is cold and accelerating from a standing start.

If the accelerator is pushed past a certain distance it accelarates normally. After reaching normal operating temperature it seems OK. Would appreciate it if anyone has experienced the same problem or has any idea what might be wrong. Can't see anything obvious.
