Default A6 hard to start?

I just bought a 99 a6 avant quattro 2.8 automatic, car cranks over however when it finally fires up it sputters and slowly goes up to normal idle, i read that it could be the temp sensor so i replaced that and now it seems to do it everytime i start the car warm or cold, before it seemed to only do it after it had been ran and sat for a while. Any thing would help. Thanks

Are you using good fuel? I had bad fuel once that cause a lot of starting issues.
