My wifes car almost didn't start the other day also. I stepped on the gas and it finally started. After holding the gas down a little when it was started it idled on its own. What I found using search here was it is probably the IAC (Idle Air Control). Has been starting fine since that incident so I haven't replaced that part yet.
