Car starts then stalls, finally starts

My '95 LeBaron with a 3.0L engine just started doing this.

The car runs fine otherwise, but last night, I started it and it ran
for a second or mayhbe 2, and stopped.  I tried again, some result.
It always ran a second, or maybe 2, but it took me about 8 tries to
start it, and then it ran fine.   Home was only 2 miles away.

This morning, started fine, I drove 4 miles, left it alone for a half
hour and had the same problem.   After ot foma;;u started, it ran fine
the rest of the day, during which I had to stop and start it 4 more
times.

In both cases the car was turned off for about a half hour, and in one
or both casec I pushed the accelerator pedal down part way so it would
run faster when it first started up.

The weather was beautiful, 60 and clear, in Baltimore.  About 100,000
miles on the car.  

I have never had a problem like this before.  Any help is appreciated.

I'm supposed to leave in 3 weeks for a trip to Dallas and back, so I'm
more concerned than I normally would be.

If you are inclined to email me
for some reason, remove NOPSAM  :-)

Most likely cause is a dirty throttle body and/or failing ISC motor. Try
cleaning the throttle body first.
