When I start my car after it has been sitting for a while, it runs really rough for the first few seconds then it gets on it's feet and is running like normal. I'd say the roughness lasts like 3 seconds.

I have an idea what it may be want some opinons.

 

Bump for Help. Seriously.

 

Do a tuneup.

New plugs, wires, Rotor, Fuel filter, Etc.

 

connections when car is cold could be a lil iffy, check round ur engine bay and if nothing seems obviously wrong, tune up

If you have to leave the car for a while start it every few days to keep this from getting too bad because if it does happen a bunch it will get worse and possible damagesomething down the road. To prevent this I use Lucal Oil stabilizer. No more dry starts here..

 

thanks guys!
