hard starting

I have a 1995 SE with 163k miles. I have owned it for a few weeks its a nice clean car, in and out. My problem is that when I go to start the SE it sometimes fires up then stalls quick. I then have to turn the key again and it starts fine. I am not sure if the i am having fuel pump problems cause it runs well once it is running or if it is a fuel filter problem. Any insight please let me know. Thanx

Step 1 - Clean your throttle body.
Go to www.motorvate.ca for directions, it's a very easy do-it-yourself project that usually clears up problems like that.

i had the same problem and thought that cleaning my Throttle Body would help.... it help the idle to be smoother but did not help the starting problem.... i would also like to know what could be the problem if anyone knows??

thanks
