Had issue with very rough start for 3-4 consecutive days first start in the morning no issues the rest of the day. Something related to oil pressure it seems. Initially found people discussing issues with the OCV on the intake and exhaust. Friend recommended changing oil and check for metal in oil. Replace 4 qts of oil and one qt of transmission fluid to clean the engine of deposits possibly solving the problem. Never had the issue again after 1k miles. Changed the oil back to regular oil and still no issue. The issue was eitehr solved by the tranny oil cleaning whatever was stuck or low oil not sure.
Found out it could have been low oil noticed a valve cover leak on the 3.8L V6 closest to the front where the timing cover and block meet. This is a common problem with this engine after some miles and the valve cover gasket gets hard and brittle, forming a leak.
