Default Start up problems after sitting

Ok so this happened for 2 weeks now. I have another car that I drive to college so I let my mustang sit. I come home every weekend. For the past to weeks when I go home a start it up after it sits for 5 days its starts right up as normal but it only runs on 6 or 7 cylinders is seems like, the I let it idle for a little and eventually all cylinders start to fire. I figured fuel, but it doenst have a fuel problem anytime else or over the rest of the weekend at all. It runs great. So whats up?

if it runs bad at first, u might jsut be getting condensation in the lines or intake and ur trying to run on a little water. it is starting to get that time of year where its warm in the day and cool at night and all ur windows start fogging up, think of it like that. or an injector might be sticking and your soakinga cylinder. take a long screwdriver and put one end on the fuel injector and ur ear at the other end and make sure its "ticking" do it to all of them right as u start it up. just some thing to try.
