What kind of lubricant do you need to put in there after cleaning???

No, probably not the cause based on your tests. Could be an air leak, though. Sounds like the ECU is trying to reduce airflow when warm, so it might be coming through elsewhere. Probably unmetered, too, which would lean out the mixture - a real problem when cold.
Also, Q-ball's idea about the battery is worth investigating. If voltage drops too low while cranking, it could upset initial conditions set by the ECU.
