When ever the car sits overnight it won't start on the first try. It won't do anything but turn over for the first few trys. then starts up and idles rough and then always starts until the next morning. Also when ever you are cruising at the same speed it will buck a little until you give it a little throttle and then it goes away. It buck any time you hit just a little boost at any throttle. Anyone got some ideas on this? Also the plugs look lean
 
sorry to say this & hope it's not true,
my car was doing exactly that, it was the first clue that the ECU was going away. Check for error codes at the diagnostic terminal or you can wait until the problem gets worse & have a solid failure all the time, then you can figure out what the problem is.
