Sometimes when I start my car the engine will turn over for about 2 seconds then it the engine will shake for a second and the engine will stall out. It does not always do this. I have noticed that when it does do this it will do it over and over and over again untill it finaly starts I once tried 6 times before it finaly caught and stayed running. I have found that if it does this, on the second attempt at turning it over, I will rev the engine a little, 1500 rpm is enough, the engine will turn over and then run fine. This problem only happens at startup. Once running the engine runs fine with no other problems. I can run all day long with no issues.
I had a tune up done at 60000, all fluids, timing belt, plugs, wires. And I always change the oil every 3-4 thousand miles (mobile 1 5w30 synthetic)
If the engine stalls out like that sometimes can that do any damage to the engnie? Any suggestions?
