At cold start it idles rough but once it get to operating temp it idles fine. when i shut it off and try to turn it has trouble starting it will catch on for like a second then die. so when i turn the key i give it some gas and it turns on, i usually have to hold it for a while to have it work fine any. it seems to be throttle related any suggestions on what it could be. i thought it was the spark plugs but i i changed them 2 times once with single grounded plugs then with double grounded plugs. i also changed the ignition wires two and the coil packs. Help!!!!!!!
i changed the fuel filter about 3-6k miles ago as for the fuel pump it has never been changed(car has 170,000 miles). and yes it cranks up and then die's.i rolled it in 2 the shop it was starting fine. I swear i think the car has a mid of its own.
 
How about the battery conections are they tight?
Could be a bad starter relay.
 
Sounds that when you start it will crank up and then stop,maybe you gas pump and filter.
