When I press the start button the car starts but it sounds like some of the cylinders are misfiring and the engine runs very rough, shaky, and sounds weak.

I press the start button to turn off the car, then press it again to start it and then it runs normally.

I first noticed this 2 years ago when it would happen once in a few months, now it's happening much more frequently, 2-3x a week.

Any ideas how to diagnose this and where to go to get it fixed other than the dealership (I don't trust them because in my last visit for a software recall they told me that my oil plug was leaking, where it was not).

50 True Metrix test strips cost $25 via insurance. (blood sugar)

I could use some pointers where I could directly purchase a tester and test strips without a prescription that don't break the bank.

I need to test 3x a day, so need larger quantities.

I need a low cost phone number for nonprofit organization. Maybe 5 to 10 calls per year and ~20 text messages per year. (USA)

It has to be Venmo compatible. Google voice number gets rejected by Venmo.

I recall seeing something for about ~$10/yr but can't seem to find it.
