Thanks for your ideas guys, and yes I have read the other posts that have
been sort of on this topic. But they all talk about stumbling and stalling
and hard to restart again. I don't have that problem yet :-) just a slight
stumble and sputter at initial start up, then no problems. Those of you
that have mentioned the IAC or pre-cat O2 sensor could be on to something,
I'll check that out. I've tried pre-priming the fuel pump 2-3 times before
starting, no change.

Yes it is a 97 but I only have 34000 kilometers on the odometer ( yes that's
right 34000kms) , I have 2 other cars to play with also :-) so I don't
think the "old age" factors come into play yet such as timing chain stretch
etc.
Thanks again, I think I'll look into the easy stuff first.
