i have a stock 280z and sometimes when i start it up it'll startup fine. other times when i try to start it, it will take a minute to start up and when it starts it runs boggy for a while so i will give it gas and let it warm up for a minute then it will be fine. what do you think the problem might be guys?

AFM, that's where I'd start, most likely a temperature change issue, could be a deadspot, might just need a bit of adjusting

could also be the FICV, Fast Idle Control Valve, it's suppose to open up when cold and close when warm
