Hi imgur,
Welcome to TOC.

Several people, on several sites, are experiencing the same symptoms. To my knowledge, resolutions have not been found. Latest was is a 350 Olds that seems to have fixed itself.
Does it seem like it's weather related? More pronounced in warm, than cold weather?

A clear indication that the battery/charging system is not the problem.

I had the same hard starting last summer. Eventually my car began stalling at low RPMs as well. I replaced the crankshaft position sensor and neither problem has recurred now for almost 8 months.
Hope this helps,
