It first started when I turned the car on. As I turned the key, it took a few turns for the car to start. Then the car hesitated when I first push the accelerator pedal before it would drive normally. The heat intensity blowing from the vents would fluctuate as I would drive. I drove for about 2 miles and pulled in a parking lot. As I slowly approached the stall, the engine just died out. I put the car in park and tried to start it again. It took a few turns, but the car started up. There are no warning lights on to indicate a problem. What would cause this and is it going to be a continuing problem?

Clean throttle plate on both sides and iac hole with choke cleaner. If it continues check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it.
