Default engine starting problem

Whenever I start my car (94 Accord LX), it sputters and almost dies for about 5 seconds, or until I rev up and get everything going. Does anyone know what is happening? Thanks

change that fuel filter for one if you haven't.

Does it only do it when it's cold? Maybe your idle is low?

Could be a bad IAC valve. Youe may want to check it. If the car runs rough or want to die when cold but once warm runs fine, then it prob. the IAC.
