GO YARIS!

Hmm, sounds familiar... I had my car a few days when i was having this issue (then again, I was also stalling my car kinda frequently as I hadn't previouisly owned a stick-shift). I was gettin very frustrated.

But now that I'm experienced (all of only 2 months to the day), I don't have this problem. (well, the starting at least... the stalling still happens on occassion when stopped going up a hill and I don't feel like redlining it to get it moving again......)
