I was wondering if anybody would be able to help me out and any advise is appreciated. So to begin with my engine will almost never start the first time ypu try cranking it but it usually fires right up the second time. Then i have to add throttle to keep it running for around 8 minutes or untel the coolant is up to around 140-150 degrees. If i dont the engine misfires really badly and will stall if iI let up on the gas siddenly but after it warms up thete is no issues virtualy what so ever. Once again any advise is much appreciated. Thanks

Is your check engine light on?
When was the last time it had a tune up? Plugs, wires, cap & rotor (the latter if applicable depending on year) sound like a good place to start.
Fuel pump relay may be faulty?

Good advice^ I would also scan for codes. Let the ECU tell you what it is seeing.
