Question Help! Throttle Body Replaced Twice in 2.5 Years / 35k Miles

What's the real problem here?

The symptoms are in order:
1. When starting the car it seems to choke a bit (hesistate) then start and it gets worse and worse each start. The sympton is worse when the car is cold.
2. Power seems to drop gradually, when I had it fixed the first time, the car was like night and day. Very Responsive.
3. Eventually the engine light comes on.

I had it replaced the first time around 15k when the car was only a year 14 months old. Now I am noticing the first two symptoms again and the car has 36k miles at 30 months. The dealership was fine replacing it the first time, but I am not sure that is the real problem if it is happening again. Any thoughts?

It ends up costing around $800 after parts and labor if I remember correctly. It is covered under warranty.

It doesn't cost me a thing since it is covered under warranty.

Does anyone know what causes the problem, or a way to stop it from happening again?
