when i start the car in the morning its fine until 10 minutes and then it cuts off. after that it take time to turn on and you have to rev the engin alot to keep it on.

Answer
Checking all the basic items like plugs,cap,rotor are the first step.You should replace your fuel filter and check the cleanlyness of the air flow meter.It sounds as if the cold start is working well so check the throttle plates and the hoses,as they tend to crack.
