Default 1998 Hard Start

I have been experiencing "hard starts" in the morning and when it sits for a while. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Additionally, I have been told that it is due to the fuel not staying in the line...I'm stumped.
...there's more. I just got back from taking a ride, and noticed that I have a high idle, but the CEL is not coming on. HEEEEEEEELP!
