car missing need help

First of all I'd like to say that I have done a search but found nothing helpful.
My car is running rough at idle but after it sits for a minute it smooths back out and runs fine. When I am driving down the road it runs fine, when I ease into the gas it accelerates fine but when I stab at the gas it bogs down and runs real rough.

When I bought the car in october the car ran like crap. The dealer fixed all the problems. They replaced the optispark, plugs & wires, and one O2 sensor, plus the water pump.

With the way the car is acting now I have no idea where to begin. I'm hoping you guys can help me. I know very little about this car so if I ask a stupid question or two have patience with me. I want to fix it myself but little experience.

Also when I started the car this morning it turned over twice then hesitated and then turned over again before finally starting.

Sorry so long and for lack of punctuation.

thanks for your help

Cool

Sounds like your water pump is leaking onto your opti(distributor).Are you adding any coolant every month or so?Hope this helps.
