Default Start up stutttering

Some mornings after I start the truck and press the gas, it feels like it wants to stall out and not go but it always does. It's never stalled. What could be causing this, I use mid grade gas and I park on flat ground, it only does it in the morning it seems. Suggestions? Help?

It's not uncommon for the vehicle to feel sluggish when started up cold and driven. Try letting the vehicle warm a couple minutes before driving it and see if that doesn't help.

Good luck.

My truck has a similiar problem. It's a 99 Dodge Ram sport with 5.9L. When it is cold it wont stay running without my foot on the gas. Sometimes wont start like the battery is dead or the starter is dead but they are fine. After the truck warms up it ran fine till recently. Now yesterday I drove it for forty minutes and then after parking it and restarting immediately it died. The truck is giving no trouble codes at all. The battery and alternator are fine (dodge said that if the battery fell below below 9v it cold cause idle problems). One of the cylinders is misfiring. The coil has been changed to the new way already. Any help would be great.
