Could be a failing glowplug, which can cause one cylinder not to burn as efficiently until cylinder has sufficiently.  Normally only for a few secs though....

Which one, the normal atmospheric sensor? Thats to measure the atmospheric pressure (and thus be able to make judgements on fuelling based on atmospheric pressure)
