My car Stumbled...
 
Tried to start her this morning, and she wouldnt turn. Tried for about a minute, then stopped, tried again this time giving it some gas. It finally cranked over and ran, but would have bogged back down fast had i not kept on the gas some. It stopped after about 10 seconds and then idled fine, and the same later today when it was warm outside. This was from a complete cold start so im wondering wtf. Help?

Mine would have trouble starting for a few days... then be fine for a few weeks, then start having trouble again. Just off and on. Turned out I had an old battery, and needed new plugs and wires. Since yours was trying to start, I guess that means it's not the battery though?

Bad gas, or not been filled up in a while?

I was gonna say it sounds like it's not getting gas, but that's the only thing I can think of.
I've never had this problem, but I've had simliar where my car would idle like **** and try to die. haha

Yea, im thinking it was the fuel filter was old and clogged. It started up fine yesterday mornin, but havent drove it since.

Mine did the same thing, even the fuel filter change was identical. However, I have found that it's a bad fuel pump. Maybe yours is starting to go too who knows.
