Like i said in the title My car takes about two or three tries to start when it hasn't been driven overnight or for a few hours.. Once it's warmed up it starts fine.. Anyone had this problem or know how to fix it? Thank you
 


get a new gasket and remove your throttle body and spray it with trottle body or maf cleaner and put it back together. that might take care of your problem and cheap fix too. Let me know how you make out.
 
Fuel pump is going out.



On my caddy that is what the problem was. As strange as it sounds.


The only thing that I could think of is when any car is cold it needs more fuel. And maybe it was supplying just under what it needs when it's cold but just enough when it's not.


Any way I would do a fuel pressure test.
 


FPR? Fuel pump regulator? relay? sorry I'm not sure what that is.. and i hope it's not the fuel pump.. how do i do a pressure test?

FPR = Fuel Pressure Regulator.



It's located on the fuel rail and is about a 20.00 part.
 
I could just as easily be the pump, as TDC said, I'm just throwing the FPR out as a possibility.
