Occasionally, even after warm starts, my car will have some trouble starting. It's not the starter, it cranks just fine, but the engine starts at a very low RPM and I have to gas the engine up so that it doesn't die again. After this, the car will run just about fine.
Today, this happened again(only about the 4th time) and I noticed that my Revs were dropping a lot faster between shifts, the device that delays rev-dropping was off. Any thoughts? I haven't replaced my air filter in a long time and I'll do that later on today, but I can't imagine that being the source of this strange and intermittent problem. -------------------- 2019 M2, 2005 S2000, 1997 4Runne

you could go the route I just went this weekend. checking the fuel pressure by using a tester from Autozone and replace the cap and rotor since they're cheap (mine was $13.87).
