I have an ender 3 that sometimes will just randomly pull all the filament out at the beginning of the print. I have been just stopping the print, resetting the filament, and restarted the print and it works fine. what could be going wrong? any ideas

What do you mean by "randomly pull all the filament out"? It's normal for some to ooze out as the nozzle heats up. The printer will then "wipe its nose" at the side of the build platform before starting the print. I doubt you mean that though. Maybe a video would help.
To be honest though, 3D printing seems to always involve something randomly going wrong. If that happens occasionally then you're probably doing it right.

The extruder will run in opposite direction pulling the filament from the hot end.
