Not trying to sound like or be a d**k, but please be little more specific, cause it may lead you and anybody reading this right to the problem if we had as much info as possible.......does it only happen when the engine is warm or only cold, or are there any other conditions that you noticed it happening when it doesnt during other conditions.

Starting Problem

yea.. it happens both in warm and cold conditions.. For example, in the morning, when i go outside and start my car... i crank it about for like 3 seconds but it wouldn't start... and then i crank it again.. then it starts... if i drive around a little until hot and shut off the car, and start it back right away, it starts fine.. but if i leave the car for about 20 minutes or so.. it does not start at the first crank... that's the whole story.. thanks

Yeah thats what Im thinkin also.............Unless its a leaky injector issue, which is also a possibility. Start off by giving it a tune up and if that doesnt help then look further, like a leaky injector for instance. Good luck
