So. It just happened again . . . tried starting the car and nothing. After the 1st time, I turned on and off the car a couple of times (without starting it). then tried again . . .nothing. No puttering . . . nothing. then I tried openning the throttle body a little bit by pushing down the gas pedal . . . nothing. On the 4th try, I opened the throttle body a bit more (1/4 or 1/3?) and it sputtered and started. after that . . . runs smooth as silk. WTF?

Any opinions? Think it is the MAF sensor? I couldn't hear the fuel pump because it was a windy day and no one around to turn the key while I got under the car. Could not smell the gas fumes as usual . . . I suspect the wind blowing in opposit direction.

I'm frustrated . . . any help please.
