Sometimes when I'm trying to start my car it'll turn over and then die and then it just won't start for a couple seconds/minutes...what's that all about?

Idle air control....can make it surge die out or sometimes not even start. Seemingly for no reason......just tap on it and it will free up the valve inside. Or replace it. But I could be wrong as far as that being the problem.........just a suggestion.
