what can cause this?

ok i'm not very knowledgable when it comes to camaros, but my question is, is there a sensor or something that if going bad will make the car run rich? i have checked my pump, changed filter, changed plugs. plugs were solid black and with only 1k miles on them. and still the first start up and for about ten mins my car runs rough.

the it will idle then if i hit the gas too much it dies, then i have to push the pedal to get it to start then it runs like as if its flooded which i'm sure is from holding the gas pedal down. and then it cuts out when i'm driving till it warms up then its fine. could it be bad 02 sensors? the guy at oreillys told me to check my map sensor, does that have anything to do with my problem?

sorry i'm just getting frustrated with this trying to figure out what the problem is.

The IAT can cause that, if it were reading too low. It's operation can be checked with a scanner. If it were not working at all, it would cause a trouble code, though.

You don't have one? Very strange. I'm not saying that's your problem. You were looking for suggestions and I gave you one.
