Question Sometimes: Crank, then wants to die after sitting for a long time...

After the car's been sitting for a few hours (> 6), it wants to die after being cranked. If I tap (give a little) the gas, everything's fine, but if not, 40% of thetime it'll shut off. 2nd crank always no problem at all-- stays running. Any ideas on what could be causing this?
