I'm sure without even trying you could find god knows how many mistakes in my other posts.

You need to take that Chevy to the nearest dragstrip

Talk about a thread getting self-threadjacked! Have you tried hooking up a diagnostic scanner to check for any trouble codes? I know someone chasing a similar gremlin on his New Edge GT... sometimes it just "stalls out" immediately after starting but is fine after restarting. IIRC, I think it had to do with a cam position sensor. Then again, your car is special so that probably doesn't apply in this case. Good luck finding the cause.

That sounds really similar to my problem, actually... hmm

I haven't gotten it diagnosed or anything yet simply because its not that big of a deal. Maybe I'll get around to it soon

If it ain't broke... Honestly if it's as simple as needing to turn it over two times then you aren't that bad off and bringing it to the dealer to get it scanned just for them to replace a part for $7520948572064525420573456058740294365.99 then you may as well deal with it until it A)gets worse or B) you drive the thing enough that it likes you and it starts every time you try.

If it only happens at startup and mainly when the car is cold, might be time to check 1) maf sensor (clean it with electrical contact cleaner) or 2) Idle Air Control valve (IAC) which can be cleaned with carb cleaner.
