Default sounds like timing belt..

If that all fails, I will add these for you to check also...
becuse it sounds to me like it could be a timing belt issue? when you said.
.>>>> ****( the engine jumps a couple times then starts) ***

whens the last time the timing belt has been changed? mayby it jumped a tooth or two??? ive seen that many times.

My lower crank pully broke the collar that keeps the belt centered on the gear, so that let the belt ride off the front and shredd, luckely the bhg happened and when i pulled the cover off the belt was only 1/4 wide. but had not jumped yet.. hahahha

It also could be any number of things like maybe a plugged catolitic converter? air or fuel filter plugged? bad spark? water in your tank?

but most of these give some warning first, thats why id check the timing belt.
