Hi guys! I've been out of the loop for a while and am trying to get 10842 back in shape again.

The car starts right up (cold), but I'm getting very poor acceleration for the first few minutes. It will buck and sputter when trying to accelerate, almost feels like it wants to stall. After the engine warms up acceleration is normal. The accumulator and fuel filter were changed and it also had a complete tuneup, but the problem still persisted. I'm starting to think that this may be a fuel issue because it feels like the engine is being starved. Could this possibly be a warm-up regulator problem?

Any insight would be helpful.

You need a set of KJet fuel gauges and then measure the control pressure. Sounds like your control pressure regulator is being wonky.
