    Vt commodore v6
    hi , ive got a 98 vt commie 3.8 v6 , and sometime when i go to start it you have to put your foot on the accelerator and give it a rev otherwise it cuts out , and sometimes it doesnt crank over at all so you have to turn the key off and turn it back on and try again sometimes its just fine , any suggestions ?

    thanks
