Default Problem

Ok so first off this only happens first thing in the morning or after the car has been sitting for more than 6 hours. My car, which is a 420A, will crank but it seems like it wants to die first thing but if I hit the gas the idle shoots up after a slight shudder and then it's fine for the rest of the day. No problems at all until the next morning and it's not like it's cold outside. It's done this 3 days in a row and a couple times here and there before that. Anybody ever had a problem like this?

Sounds like a clogged fuel line or something.

Alright I'll get the plugs and wires tomorrow along with a fuel filter. Never hurts to change that and it's cheap. Thanks everybody.
