This motor starts without difficulty, but struggles to keep running for about 60 seconds, after which it takes hold, and runs smoothly. What causes this problem, and what do I do to remedy it?

Check your fuel pressureand scan the enginefor codes. Lyou might get a fuel filter and try changing that and see if it makes a difference. Also check for vacuum leaks or boroken or leaking vacuum lines.
