Is water blackish when it starts or idling? Flooding itself?

Pretty much like a carb just different controls for same thing.
Fuel comes to mind first. Then the electronics controls for its version of choke.
If yours still runs the stator and stuff it might be weak. Considering it eventually runs fine though if something was off it would be tougher to find.
The bit sluggish would probably point to fuel again.
Tps has a rep for a lot of faults and easy to check and next on the list. Also easy to check first.
