Starting problems?
Looking for some advice. . .
The last week I've had trouble starting my car in the morning or after it's sat for a few hours (4+). It turns over and sputters right out. It's usually the third or fourth attempt at starting, with the gas petal depressed, that I get it to rev high and then stablized at idle without sputtering out.
After the car's driven for a while, it will start right back up with no hesitation at all. I have 92k miles and my spark plugs have about 20k on them. I also have the original fuel filter / pump.
Any ideas?

I had that problem when my coolant temp sensor was going bad.
It's a pretty cheap part (like $15 if I remember right) and takes about 3 minutes to swap, so just swap that out and see if it helps.
