Default Start Up Issues

The last couple of times I have tried to start my 2003 C2 Coupe, it turns over, but at a very low RPM, and then when I try to give it gas, it stalls. This happens only when the engine is COLD.

When I try to restart a second time, everything then seems ok. Any ideas what this issue could be? Thanks in advance!

A couple things to try:

-use a fuel injector cleaner like Techron and see if that helps (put it in when the tank is almost empty and then fill the tank up completely).
-clean the mass air flow sensor and the throttle body completely (a search on Rennlist and Renntech will provide very detailed instructions and should take you no more than 30-60 minutes all in)

If it's one of those two things doesn't help, it may be time for a visit to the dealer or an indy.
