He probably had the original, recalled weak ass starter. I would (and did to mine ) upgrade to the new one. Makes the car start immediately.

And yes, it sounds like it has a vacuum leak or something. However, if that was the case, you should have a light on. If you don't, I would still hook it up to a scanner that can read real-time data from the ECM.

When was the last time (if ever) you cleaned the throttle body?

They get pretty gunked up form the PCV system. I know mine ran a shitload smoother once I took mine off and cleaned it.
