My first problem is my car is hard to start when its cold it idles for about 6 seconds and dies.
I keep repeating this four or five times and it will stay running but it idles like it is choking out or not getting fuel. and when it finally warms up after about an hour of driving it will cutt out when your at low rpm it you put it in a lower gear and keep the rpms up for a little while you can go back to drive or overdrive and it runs fine.
I have replaced the spark plugs,wires,fuel filter
What do you think?

Have you checked fuel pump pressure? Have you checked for vacuum leaks? Finally, has the check engine light come on?
