Question my 2003 P5 shaking when applying/releasing gas

I'm noticing 2 things on my 03 P5:
1) When I apply / release the gas pedal, the car is shaking abit. Seems like it's ULTRA sensitive to the pedal. I think it's getting worse too, since I recall that it was only noticable in 2nd gear before; now I can sense it even in 5th gear on highway...

2) Hard to start: First start is okay, but if I restart again within 5-10 mins (like after buying some goceries quickly), it seems like the engine doesn't wanna start, and its idle speed is kinda low too (sometimes almost drops to < 500rpm)...

Anybody has the same problems?

my pro had a malfunctioning MAF sensor that was giving similar symptoms. i thought they fixed the problem with the P5 but maybe not. Either way it's free to take it to the dealer.
