Car having problems starting... PLEASE HELP

Alright over the last two days something happened to my car. It takes around 3-4 tries to get it going and when it starts the RPM goes from 500 to 1200 and it makes a weird acceleration noise, but than when I take it for a drive... no problem, RPM level stays at 500 when at a stop sign or red light, no decreased acceleration, everything seems to be fine. Today I have checked the battery and the belts, both are fine. Tomorrow I will clean the throttle body, does anyone else know what might be causing the problem, thanks.
Mike
