My car starts up lazy in the morning and when it warms up it becomes okay. I floor the acceleration pedal and it is not picking up speed. After a few minutes it starts moving fine.

This sounds like you have a vacuum leak, or the throttle bore needs to be serviced, here are three guides to help with additional information below.

Use this guide when the engine is cold only:
