Can't figure out this fuel system problem....NEED HELP
ok i have an 02 z28 with about 138,xxx miles, recently it has started acting up after starting the car. For instance, i will go to leave my house and go through roughly 2/3 stops and then it will start idling rough, when i go to take off it feels really sluggish like it's bogging down but then after a few taps on the gas pedal it goes back to normal and won't do it again until the next time i start it and then it happens all over again. i figured if it was a coil, wire, or plug it would be doing it consistently. i have already changed the fuel filter and ran lucas fuel system cleaner but the problem is still there.
does anyone have any input or suggestions on what i need to check next?

I would like to find the source of the problem before i do a full tune up so that i know it will fix the problem.
i have longtubes...i've heard the corvette o2 sensors will work without having to get the extensions. is this true? if so could someone provide me with a part number or site please
as for the MAF, i would just use basic MAF cleaner correct?
