Default Bad start in the morning

2001 A6 2.7biturbo. Started to start bad in the morning for the past 3 days. Starts really laggy and sputters and revs strange. Thought maybe I bought bad gas so I put in some Heat and Octane booster and Injector cleaner. Anyway, after it finally starts, it runs fine all day. Next morning, same thing. Thought maybe a fouled sparkplug, but not sure. Will get my OBD scanner out and post the code tonight. Any thoughts off the cuff?

Default RE: Bad start in the morning

Well, it turns out it was some bad gas. Caused a fault reading in the "warm-up catylist". Anyway, ran the gas out and filled back up with 91 oct. from a respectable gas station. Reset the check engine light with my OBD-II scanner. Started up just fine this morning. No check engine light. Yeah!
