I must've missed the news the day GM sold off the Pontiac division....

Anyway, the symptom sounds typical of a leaking injector. A standing fuel pressure test at shutdown might help diagnose that. If thte engine starts more easily by opening the throttle slightly while cranking, that's another indication of a leaker.
