    hm if the engine revs up with no issue maybe its not fuel pressure.. when i had fuel pressure issues, i couldnt get over 2k rpms on occasion and vx would sputter when i stopped at a light or somethin as soon as i stopped completely rpms would drop really low and would sputter then 98% of the time recover.. other 2% it would stall...

    had the occasional hard start as well (after 5-30 min of the engine sitting after driving) i would start and engine would crank for awhile before turning over.. and rpms would move sporadically between 500-1500rpms and the vx would want to die unless i kept my foot on the gas for a bit, then things would calm down and would drive fine

    if your engine is revving up normally i would guess a transmission/tcase issue like others have mentioned

    Yep, I suspect fuel issue. I got this same issue a few years back (pre-S/C). I changed out my PCV and fuel filter, but found that it still did it on occasion. I tore down the fuel rails and cleaned out the injectors really well and reinstalled. Problem solved. A lot of dirty work for a simple fuel injector cleaning, so maybe there is an addictive you can try in your gas to clean out your lines to hopefully avoid this process.
