Thats something that I dont think that I've heard of, but I know Greg will probably have a possible solution, just wait for a bit, someone here will help you soon.

Could be a number of things - I'm taking this from the troubleshooting guide in my Haynes

1. Loose or faulty connections at dizzy/coil/alternator
2. Insufficient fuel reaching injectors (meaning fuel pump) - my best guess is this cuz after you do it a few time it starts which means its not putting enough pressure out at first but once you do it a few times it does.
3. Vacuum leak at gasket between TB and IM.

So he's the shizzle. Ohio boy to the rescue.

Anyway, I personally would bet on fuel pump/filter problem, as he stated.

yeah but check to make sure you don't have any loose connections first because that's an easy as hell fix.
