Question weird start up.

this evening at around 6:30 i got out to my car to go to work. opened the door, sat in, just like any normal day.

then proceeded to start my car. my started but then within two seconds the engine sounded like it was bogging like its was struggling to stay on, then rpm dropped, and complete shut off.

at this point i was like WTF JUST HAPPENED HERE!?!?!?!

then i start the car again but this time i revved it all the way to 4k then left it there for like 5 seconds, let off the gas and it was fine again. idle like normal an everything. i got out of my car and walked to the front, popped the hood and check for any leaks of sorts, nothing ont he ground underneath either. so i am very stummped.

i drove it to work and back after and it started and drove like normal again.

i am wondering what could have caused this? plugs? fuel filter? any idea guys i need your help. thnks in advanced.
