Default Car wont start without me giving it gas/reving it

My car which I had tuned during the late September will not start cold unless I give it gas and rev the car up to a pretty high rpm before it will begin to idle and stay running. Any thoughts on why it may be doing this?

Try changing your spark plugs
My buddy had his car tuned and it was running a bit on the rich side and he had the same problems as you. He started to foul his plugs then he change them and got it retuned somewhere eles and hasnt had that problem since.
Just my 2 cents
