At first i just thought it was the high altitude here in up in Summit County in the Rockies. But it seems to be getting worse. When i go to start my car in the morning it now takes a couple tries for it to finally keep started instead of rumbling. Then if i try and rev it up a lil it feels like it isn't getting any gas, as if something was blocking it...once it warms up though its fine!? Have any ideas?

If your car starts normaly durring the summer then its because its cold and the engine itself dosent run as well as it use to so it just be all of the old parts combined together trying to work when its cold. If it has the same problem when its hot then you might have a problem.

I had this problem awhile back. What was happening was there was moisture in the sparkplug wells. When you fired the car up cold, the spark would jump to the water instead of the plug. After a minute or so the heat would evaporate the water and the car would run fine (except for the smell of gas). I seems as though the moisture would stay in there and recondense after the car would be turned off. I just bought new plug wires (my stock ones were shot), waited for a really dry day (low humidity) and drove the car around until it warmed up. Then I pulled the wires and left them out with the hood up (in the sun) for an hour or so. then put the new plug wires in. This might not be your problem but it worked for me.
