I have the exact same problem. When I first start the car it runs very rough. I rev it for a couple of seconds in neutral and it starts running smooth again. It has acted up sometimes when I come to a stop and it starts puddering and wants to stall. When I put it in neutral and rev it a couple of times it seems to clear it up again. Wondering if it might be the fuel filter. I will update if I figure it out. Please do the same.
Cheers!

well you might want to change the fuel filter just for the hell of it! they are cheap so if it don't work then you still have a new fuel filter lol
