When i turn my car on it seems to hesitate alittle and sometimes turns off. But when i get it driving there seems to be no problem at all. Do you know what can be the problem?

Does this happen when it is both cold and hot?

What I would suggest is to start simple. Check the engine compartment for things like vacuum leaks. Also, since you just got the car, we have no idea when it was last tuned up. You may want to remove a spark plug and check its condition and the condition of the wires.

Let me know what you find. Also, let me know if the check engine light has come on.
