It seems if I drive my car after it has been sitting overnight the first few miles I drive the car is very slugish and hesitant throught the rpm band. If you attempt to get in it a bit it will be very hesitant almost wanting to buck like its starving for something. Now after she warms up a bit, no issues and the car runs through the RPM band just fine. Any insight appreciated.

Maybe plug wires? I don't know the pump could very well be the problem though... But I take it, it's running better when it warm? Try disconnecting the battery for a few mins if you havn't already. I would replace the Fuel filter if you havn't yet as well, it's cheap and easy to do...

gonna say run codes. Then if nothing, check the plugs and wires. When did you last change them? Fuel filter is a nice start as well. Air filter.....all of these could be issues.

Mine was a bad plug wire.

Plug wires are new MSD's. Plugs I just changed. Now that the weather is getting warmer it doesn't seem to be an issue.
