Thanks for the response, when I start by flooring the pedal and
keeping it there, it pretty much does the same thing. I took it to my
mechanic, they ran tests and couldn't find anything wrong, everything
checked out fine. They reccomend a trip to the dealer if the starting
continues to be a problem, but the only way I'm going to the dealer is
to get a newer car, which I had been planning to do anyways.
