Car starts fine cold but after its warmed up and you go to start it it starts hard and engine shakes and after 20 seconds or so it'll start idling fine and when you take off from a dead stop quickly it hesitates

How long sine a tune-up? Check applicable trouble codes. Some of the national brand autostores used to check codes for free. If you have an obd2 code reader, you can check codes yourself. With idle issues, check idle air system.
