[ryster218]

hi guys, i'm new to this forum, just found out about it recently. HELLO ALL!!!

Well, the problem is, everytime i start up my car, it is hesitant to start up, sometimes i would have to crank it up twice it get it started, and when it starts, its not smooth, the car would vibrate til i give it a little gas then it would be fine. Would any of you know what the problem is? Sorry if my explanation is a bit confusing, and btw, I have a 1996 es300. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
