Recently when I crank my car, it will idle low and then when I put it in drive and hit the gas, it will buck like it is trying to cut off (sometimes it does) and then suddenly it will take off and drive with no problems. I drive 32 miles one way to work. What could the problem be?

How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes? Use a gage and check fuel pressure.
