My car has been wonderful up until a couple months ago. Every time I try to start it, it acts like it's going to start but never catches. I have to give it gas and kind of rev it up to get it to catch and run then it's fine. My husband has replaced the spark plus and wires and the fuel filter but it hasn't helped. Never had any other kind of problem with this car before and not ready to let it go :( Please help!

Check and test the coolant temperature sensor and clean out the idle air control valve and EGR and PCV valves and test the throttle position sensor.
