cold engine/ start off problems

When I start my car with a cold engine and give it gas, it seems like i
wants to die out, but then gains power and goes. This only happens
when the engine is cold or when ive let it run in the drive way for 10
mintues b4 school. Now I thought it was the injectors, so i bought some fuel injector cleaner and put it in, nothing happened. I also thought it could be my plugs, but there all fine. Could it be a cluged fuel line?

Also if anyone knows wut the problem may be, do you know how much it is to fix?

BTW its a 92 Cav Z24

Thanks anyone!

Have you checked you distributor cap? Look for cracks or carbon build up.

Do you smell gas in your exhaust? Your injectors may be leaky (into the valves)
