Another issue with Toyota’s was carbon build up on the intake valves. A top engine cleaner done by a shop can be done to see if it helps. In a lot of cases, removal of the head and a valve job was the answer as carbon absorbs fuel cold and after it warms up, it will run okay.

Rough idle on initial start up in the morning, then clears up, then hesitates slightly on acceleration from a complete stop after that. I have changed coil packs, spark plugs, MAF and O2 (upstream) sensors, and added a fuel injector cleaner. Still have idle and hesitation problems.
