Cool C30 throttle

Hi Volvo Owners, i am fresh here. Recently purchased C30 2.0 D 2010, after few days noticed when starting up amd driving approx 100 yards feel like scrubing under throttle pedal for few sec and it goes away and coming back again only when starting of, unless keep engine running then its ok.
Anyone anything would be much appreciated.

The system does an ABS check that you feel as a sensation through the accelerator pedal in the first few seconds of driving. If it’s only happening once per journey (right at the beginning), that could be it.

throttle body problem and/or problems with the accelerator pedal sensor.
