slow to get fuel

It's a s4. After sitting over night it starts but you have to peddle the gas for a while to keep it running. acting like it's starving for fuel. After that frist start up it's fine the rest of that day. Changed filter & fuel pump. Car had been sitting a year or 2.

If it's been sitting for a while you should probably do a full tune up on it. Change all fluids, filters, plugs, ect. If the problem persists after the full tune up then look at other things.
