300se Diffcult to get started

Hi everyone,

Is there anyone that can advice me on this problem. It always happen after you switch off the car for a period of about 15 mins and if you want to get it started, it takes about 2 cranks and once it is started, the car vibrates like it is choking for air.

Please help.

Thanks in Advance

how many miles are on the car? Have the injectors or FP accumulator ever been replaced?
