    Default Ignition problem or fuel problem?

    Hey guys,

    I have an intermittent problem. If I crank the key in the ignition and release the key key before the ignition fully fires, I am in big trouble.

    When I crank the ignition again, the car will start but act as if its choking and will die out unless I give it more gas. As soon as i let the gas go, it will die out again. If I keep gasing it at a high RPM(2000-2500RPM) for about a few minutes, it seems to pass and the car is fine.

    I can go for weeks without a problem, unless I forget to hold the key until the car fully cranks.

    I have pour fuel injector cleaner into the gas tank and also rerplaced the fuel filter.

    Any help would be great. I don't know if this is a fuel related problem or a starter component problem.

    Thanks
