Start Good / Start Bad

[dburgjohn]

1st start in AM (kept inside) is great. Drive it a little and 'sometimes' the restart is rough. It turns good, pops some starts and dies. Try again and give a little gas and it starts. Hold the rpms up for a few seconds and it settles down and runs fine. It is not really that big a problem, but I worry it is just an early warning of a 'leave you on the side of the road' breakdown. Anyone have any ideas?

Fuel filter? Dist. cap and rotor?

addl info

after the 'rough' start, car is perfect, good idle, no miss and runs like a bat out of you know where

try cleaning your throttle body and adjust TPS..... Later vetzs

Sounds like fuel pressure. Check the pressure and leak down. Optispark also. When you give a FI motor gas to get it started all it does is opens the throttle body. You do that on a flooded FI car to get it started.
