When I am starting the car it hesitate and it wont turn over, but when I push on the gas one time it then turns over. But while I'm waiting for the car to warm up it's shaking for a few minutes.

Sounds like it is struggling to receive fuel. Fuel filter could be clogged restricting fuel supply or fuel pump could be going out.

I am having the same problem with my car. I changed the fuel pump, filter, every sensor known and now the only thing they are telling me if the fuel injectors are probably leaking. I have sunk a lot of money in this car. My car turns over and trys to start but sometimes I have to hit the gas just once to actually start it while im cranking it

Sounds like a possible injector is plugged
