cars today have electronic fuel pumps when you push the pedal when trying to start it will not increase the amount of fuel being sent to the engine. The problem is most likely the pump is not building enough fuel pressure, and it is taking several key cyles to send enough fuel to the engine. It could be the pump or something restricting gas flow in the gas line like a clogged fuel flter. What you need to do is attach a gas pressure gauge to the fuel rail and see how much pressure you are getting if it is lower than speification then either the fuel pump is weak the fuel pressure regulator iis bad or something is restricting the gas lines.

When they are referring to the donut and the manifold, they are talking about the exhaust pipes off of the engine. IF that is the case you could need either an exhaust manifold gasket, or the exhaust donut for what is usually called the flex pipe. What you need to do is ask for a shop referral and ask for an estimate and for them to tell you which one it is. Without actually seeing the vehicle It is difficult to diagnose which it is exactly. Do you have someone you know you could ask for a refferall to there mechanic?
