Unhappy Runnin like crap...bad plugs???

Ill start up and soemtimes itll idle really rough. when i start moving itll go really slow and after a second itll take off like normal. it hasnt been a big problem, but its just annoying. I think the plugs might be fouled or bad??? any ideas? it didnt do it until i got back from the track last time.

Does it make any strange sounds at either low RPM or WOT?

Might be fouled plugs, but from the initial description it sounds like it might also be the injectors.

Might be a bad tank of gas if it just happened recently. Or t could also be ouled injectors. That's really just a shot in the dark though.

Any info or background you can provide would be helpful as well.

Is there a check engine light? How long has it been occuring? Car info? Mods?

Unhappy

It doesnt make any bad noises or anything. I know im running rich, but i dont think its too much. like 12-11.5:1 or so. it only does it at start up, after a rev or a second it takes off like a bat outta hell like normal. im thinking its the plugs. no engine light or anything. just the occassional hessitation. thats it.
