Hopefully someone with car knowledge can help me out...

Starting the car, it would SOMETIMES choke for a quick half second and then nothing (silence). But the 2nd try ALWAYS starts the car. This went on for months.

Tonight was a different story. It choked for a quick half-second about 3 consecutive tries. 4th try it started half way, just when it was about to start (turn over), it was silent again. A few more tries and it finally started.

Is this a sparkplug problem? Battery? What can it be ? It's a 95 vehicle and the sparkplugs have already been changed once or twice in the past. Maybe it's due for another? Would like your ideas. Thx.

Also, if you guys know of any car trouble discussion boards (awesome concept, isn't it?) ... please let me know!
