2000 grand am gt 3.4L takes a long time turning over before it starts then have to give it gas or it dies. Then the rpm's drop down to approx. Half rpm then back up to 1 rpm. It does that about 10 times then idles fine. Then when accelerating it sometimes lunge's (vrm, vrm, vrm. Ect.)

I had a buddy hook it up to a code reader, or a diagnostic reader or whatever it is. No check engine light either
