Default idle problem.

so I been having a bit of an issue lately. with the idle. if my car sits for a period of time. lets say like 6 hours. I go to start it, let it sit while it idles. it shakes then it dies. then i restart it and its fine. It happens everyday. you have to rev it for it not to die. I checked my charging system and my battery,starter an alternator are exactly where they should be. do you think maybe its the spark plugs & wires? they havent been changed in 4 years i think..... I just cant figure out what else it could be..
