Default Cold start problem

I have a 89 S2. I returned from a trip and it was not very interested in starting. I had to crank it for about 5 minutes and then it did start. On the way home I noticed it would stumble under hard acceleration, above 4K RPM.
I parked it at home and it did the same thing the next day. I switched out my DME relay but it did the same thing. I am thinking cold start issues.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

When is the last time you've replaced spark plugs? I would take them out, clean them up, check the gaps first off.

Maybe bad distributor cap/rotor? When i replaced mine, my cold start issues vanished..

Otherwise, it's most likely a fuel issue.
