Default 1987 CGT rough idle, sometimes does not start

MY 1987 Coupe GT, idles rough for about 10 seconds , what can that be?
After the 10 seconds is runs perfect and strong, although sometimes I hear the lifters and sometimes I do not.
Sometimes hot or cold the engine does not start, even if i just drove it, i leave it for 15 minutes and then it starts and the belt is most of the time sqeeking than. (the fuel pump works)

Any ideas???

Default coil breaking down(weak spark)? thermo-time switch?

not too sure about the lifters, but is your fuel pump working properly?,
are your fuel-filters are newer?
Have you cleaned your injectors?
did you check the coil(breaking down)
and the rest of ignition system?

just throwing some ideas out

Check for vac leaks. How are your ignition components?
