Default hard startup sometimes

Hey guys...every so often my GT hesitates at starting. The starter motor is going, but the engine does not kick in until i give it some gas. This happens maybe every 3rd or 4th time I start my car. I haven't really noticed a pattern involving temperature, or anything else for that matter. I am concerned that this is a problem I should have looked at...

Thanks.
