Tundra 8-cyl

After only a few months of owning the truck almost every morning when I try to start the truck it took at least 2 cranking cycles to start. It's been a on going thing and now the throttle acts up when I first pull out of the driveway. It doesn't give any code and the dealership can't figure it out. The truck now has 36322 miles on it.
