I am having some cold startup issue with my car. Whenever the car sits for more than a few hrs, it takes a couple cranks to get started. This doesn't bother me that much. However, when it does turn over, it stumbles/hesitates for a slight moment and then goes to the normal cold start idle speed (around 1700rpms for me). I replaced my fuel filter a week ago. Initially it wasn't tight and this is what I thought was causintg the problem since the car would have to reprime every time. I tightned it (top and bottom) and it wasn't as bad. But it still hesistates/stutters for a slight moment before going to idle. Now this is only when it's cold. When it's warm, it's fine. Plugs/wires are in good shape. Thoughts? Fuel pump is a 190 rewired. Had it about a 10 months and it's never given me a problem.
