Barely starts and rough idle

Ive come across a few instances of ones like i have here on the forums but they seem to all be on a/t's. I have an '04 GT m/t with 38k miles. It takes about 3 seconds or more every start...sometimes more than 10 and it stumbles upon starting. I never turn it off cold. It also idles rough sometimes, and causes some of the plastic material in the car to rattle (although this doesnt take much, the rattles are evrywhere in these damn cars!). Also... it feels much faster some days moreso than others.... and its not just a feel, i know it, one day i could watch the needle as I WAITED for it to approach redline, that shouldnt happen on this motor... coming from an s2000 and an evo, this car is not beginning on good terms, but it looks so good! What can i expect from the dealers when i bring it in... i've heard bad stories about honoring warranties, but i came from a mitsu who is plagued with stories, and i had nothing but top notch service with them.
