just adding more info. no gauges are lit up and never stalls out. this only happens when i first go to start.

That might be an aging fuel pump that is ready to fail. Fuel problems like this don't always set a code so I would do a fuel pressure test and replace the fuel filter if it's more than 30K miles old.

fuel pump replaced 16 months ago, no codes are showing up, and they tested they relay no issues. This is so intermittent its hard to diagnose, and when shop gets it, its running just fine. UHG!
