My car has been doing the strangest thing for the last few months:

Occasionally it seems as if the engine gets stuck (chokes) as it's starting. The lights come on, it starts turning and then kind of gets stuck. I can turn the ignition back off and immediately restart and it works fine. Only once did it have a problematic start on the second try and the car idled roughly afterwards until I stepped on the accelerator.

The other observation I made is that this problem occurs almost exclusively if I turn the car off and on during the day (go to store, get gas, etc) as opposed to when it has been parked overnight or for a long time. In other words, this never happens when I first start it in the morning.

I thank you in advance for your advice.

Andy
