Weird start ups

Cleaning the MAFs is an easy job - even for a new mechanic. Remove two screws per MAF, pull MAFs out of duct, spray MAFs with cleaner, let dry, replace MAFs.

Checking battery voltage is even easier but will require two people. Check volts at battery when car is off. Check volts at battery while car is cranking. I don't remember the numbers you should get - Google is your friend.

If running K+N's (or other oiled elements) even more often.
