mysterious starting problem

Yeah I've got the same problem. It takes about 3-4 seconds before it starts and then stutters as if it wants to stall (only SOMETIMES does it do this, usually when it's really cold...oil issues I think). Oil pressure is high until warm, and idles around 1.5k rpm. But then sure enough after 5 minutes when it's warm she calms right down...idles fine again (under 1k about 800), oil pressure drops to a normal level (around 1). Then so long as I don't leave it off for 5 hours or more it will start on a dime, and all levels are exactly where they should be.
