VERY often I can't get my car to start on the first try. I have replaced the plugs, mass airflow sensor, fuel filter, i've had all the different pressures checked & everything seems to be fine, but it's not. if i spray starting fluid into the throttle body leading to the air filter, most of the time that works. it acts as if the car has over-heated or something, but i can be driving it for 2 minutes, turn it off & when i go to turn it on again, it won't start. please help me!!

Try checking your control module where the plug wires go. Also, test your water pump and/or thermostat. What trouble codes are you recieving?
If you haven't checked, this is a good place to start as well. This will generalize your troubleshooting a lot quicker.
