Check for leaks on the intake and intake tube, as well as the maf sensor.

I started to have the same problem, only that it would happen about once or twice a week. I thought it might have been the starter, etc....but once I installed a grounding wire kit...never had that issue again...and after I installed the high voltage stabilizer, starts even quicker. I would say pick those up (I got the Teckkits grounding..which is A++ in my book, and I picked up a high voltage stabilizer off of eBay)...hope this helps!

I did a seafoam cleaning this weekend and i noticed when i unplugged the pcv it has the same symptoms, it could be very likely the pcv is plugged up.
