99 ES starting problem
The car is having problems starting. The engine cranks and car momentarily starts but then shuts down. after 2-3 starts it eventually starts and runs fine.
It usually happens afterv the car sits around for more than 2-3 hours.
Any ideas on what might be wrong.
I usually fill 87 regular shell gas.

1. Check the condition of your battery.
2. Do you have low idle problems after starting up (i.e. low RPMs)? If so, then your throttle body needs to be cleaned up. Also, check your mass air flow sensor and idle air control valve since those items can affect how your engine starts up.
