Default Truck starting funny

Truck isn't starting like it used to but still runs perfectly fine. Since yesterday when i go to start it does it rev up its just goes straight to idle. The only thing i can think of making it do it is the rainy weather we have been having for a while. Any ideas on whats wrong with it?

mines doing the same thing. been doing it for a while now. i think it has something to do with my evap system. i get a cel almost everytime i drive, usuallyl after about 20 minutes or so of driving. shows up as evap system, and i read up on it in my haynes manual, and it actually does have something to do with start-up/idling. idk, but as of right now, i really dont care as long as it starts lol. dont have the money to fix it right now
