sounds like a mild cam to me... but then again, i havent heard a lot of IX's idle. Its a bit warmer in these parts too and I no longer have any issues today. Car sounds pretty healthy, i wouldnt stress about it too much.

Could be a dirty or bad maf sensor. I would check that.if theres an aftermarket intake like a k&n it could have oil built up from the filter on it.

Still in the 30's here for at least the next week or so...it wouldn't surprise me if it had cams, the last owner had a lot done and threw it back to stock to trade it in. didn't find that out till after i bought the car.
