yea mine does that too, 200, 000 miles. Changed the oil, pcv valve, egr vaccume filter, complete tranny drain and screen (cleaned pan), spark plugs, fuel filter, yet to change distributer caps and wires. Im also betting it might be something to do with the timing and the ecu corrects it when it starts, prob need some sort of calibration.
