Ok this has only happened 2 times since I bought the car 4 months apart roughly the 2 times, once today once in august. Well here is the problem.

The car wont turn over, when it finally does it starts for maybe 5 seconds then dies back out, this never happens from a cold start, has happened both times going into the bank maybe being there like 10 min tops and once it starts back up the way it should it runs good starts up and dont have the problem anymore...I know the car has 215k miles on it now, but it runs strong and I really dont think the mileage contributes to the problem. No I dont have any CEL the IACV was cleaned less then 300 miles ago as I clean it every 5k miles as a pro caution.

If anyone has any ideas Im open to hearing them. Thanks in advance to anyone who contributes.

i really don't think you have anything to worry about. sounds like a minor inconvenience more than a problem. a motor with 200k+ miles isnt going to start and run like new everytime you drive it
