Somehow I fit everything in the post title...
When the engine is cold and I start it, everything seems normal, nice purr, (well, acceptable purr). If I give it anything resembling a quick rev it will immediately sputter and, if I keep the pedal down, die. I can slowly accelerate though (VERY slowly) to higher RPMs.
I do that dance about a dozen times, taking about two minutes total, then everything suddenly becomes fine and I can gun it like a pro again. No more problems until the engine gets cold.
I just narrowed this problem down today (was going off a vague description my girlfriend gave me earlier) so I haven't done any diagnostic checks yet. Any ideas where to start looking?
