124 87 260E possible fuel issue

I've searched quite a bit about this particular issue, but am looking for a way to narrow my problem.

My 260 with 135k miles, has new dist, plugs, wires and she starts quite well when warm, barely turns over before firing up.

However when cold it sputters and spurts for about 30-45 seconds before evening out. Once even, she runs good.

There is also an intermittent lack of power on acceleration sometimes. Often she is quite speedy other times she doesn't seem to be getting the fuel needed to climb an on ramp or whatever.

Cold start valve, fuel accumulator and some of the other stuff are fairly expensive parts. I can take it to my indy but sometimes he gets to the issue, sometimes not.

Thanks in advance.
