my car does not start some times
i give it another try and it starts...
but i have to give it gas so it doesnt stop again
and when i go to give it some gas there is a delay of a second before i get the car to move as fast as it should be...
other than that i can still cruise with it no problem...

anyones help would be good

Usually vacuum leaks don't throw any CEL. Try to replace the vacuum lines. 3.5mm silicone hoses are good, or if you cannot find silicone ones go to the dealer and buy the updated braided hoses they're $8-9/meter, depending on the engine code you need between 1 and 2 meters. It's an easy DIY about 1 hour.

Get the damn car scanned, if it stalls and bogs it will have definetly thrown at least one code. When the car doesn't start and you unplug the battery and replug it confirms this. Anyone can guess at least a dozen different reasons why it might be happening.
