Default Bad idle on start up when it sits for a few days.

The last 5-6 times I've been out of town for at least 3-7 days so the car has been sitting.When I crank it up the idle goes up/down from 300-1000 rpm for a minute unless I give it gas or engine warms up.It also has a strong exhaust smell at every start .It's a 5spd SC300 with 130,XXX miles on it.Any ideas what's causing this?

Thanks
