There is a secondary air injection pump and two diverter valves that open at cold starts and inject fresh air into the exhaust manifolds / catalytic converters in order to reduce emissions. Something in there has failed... could be an electrical connection issue, air / vacuum leak, the pump or valves themselves (unlikely that both would fail simultaneously though... more likely one of the first three possibilities).
