it may be the starter is starting to go or has a lose wire. but if it is running then randomly stalling it may be a bad O2 sensor or its ideling at too low of an rpm.

You have 2 coolant sensor one for the gauge or light and one that tell your ecm how cold the eng is so it can give it more fuel the colder it is kind of like a choke on a carb eng if its not reading right it can cause a hard cold start say the sensor says the eng is 195 and the temp is 28 degress it will not give the right amount fuel till the eng warm up need to ck with moniter

It could be the idle air motor or the minimum air setting or a vacuum leak. Pull the idle air motor out and clean it. Also clean the throttle body. That may cure your trouble ,if not you will have an Idle air motor that is no good or need to set the minimum air ( to long to describe here how to do it and if your not sure how to do it don't you could mess it up good) Look for vacuum leaks and that your throttle position sensor is set right

Could be a fuel pressure regulator, or possibly fuel pump.You will need to do a fuel pressure test & leakdown.Highly suspect fuel system.Have a mechanic do this for you.Good luck

if i understand it turns over but takes a long time to start after sitting, problem is most likely your fuel pressure regulator leaking,
would have nothing to do with battery or starter if it is turning over.

Check the fluid in your battery, make sure your fan belt is tight,
check the fluid in your radiator, check to see if your alternator is lose, clean off your battery terminals, make sure your air filter is clean and see if you are due for an oil & filter change..
And lastly, have your transmission fluids changed cleaned &
replece the filter and adjust the banns.
Happy Motoring.!
