Engine Lopes at startup

Mu engine will occasionally lope at startup. If I look at my scanner the fuel trims will suddenly go negative up to - 20 and then the engine smooths out. It seems to happen in open loop and when in closed loop the fuel trims balance out. I changed my maf sensor, but it did nothing. I don't smell any gas, no Check engine light, any ideas?

I never considered the starter because the engine starts right up with out a problem. The loping occurs after it has started. Do you still think it could be the starter? Thanks
