It almost sounds like when your car goes into "closed loop" mode (i.e. starts using the data from the MAF,ICT,ECT, O2's, etc) it finally kicks.
Is your check engine light on? Sounds like one of the sensors above is going out and you just need to figure out which one. It is strange that the car wont' start for a short amount of time because if a sensor goes "hard" bad, the computer will just ignore it, but if it's just "soft" failing, many wierd things can happen. What happens if you disconnect your MAF?
I say this in all of my posts, but a simple OBDII sofware package will give you actual sensor readouts so you can pinpoint what's going on.
