I just started having a problem where when my car has not been started in 5-6 hours- it idles really rough-stalling often. I press the gas pedal all the way down and there is little to no control over engine rpms for a few seconds. After car is a little warm all problems go away. I replaced spark plugs and fuel filter. Any suggestions?

You migh t have a fuel pressure problem. Check the regulator.
