Good day

I have recently encountered a problem with my '95 hyundai elantra whereby it struggles to start and struggles to idle after it has been standing for a while. I have to keep my foot on the gas pedal in order for it to start and idle but when it gets warmer, it drives as if nothing is wrong. What could the cause of this be? Please help.

Kind regards and many thanks.

Clean the IAC and the throttle body, check codes for faulty coolant temp sensor as well.
