Hard starting

Recently I've had a problem with hard starting.

I've noticed it usually when it's more humid outside.

I searched the FAQ and a good possibility is the 02 sensor.

I replaced my plugs just a couple of days ago(lots of fun that was) but it hasn't entirely solved my problem.

Basically, when I crank the car, she doesn't want to start. I usually have to wait a couple of minutes and continue cranking until it will go.

Of course, my check engine light just came on. I haven't had the time to check the fault codes in my ECU sensor.

My car has 75k miles on it, and it sees more public roads than highways.

Any other guesses as to what I should look for?

EM,
Hoping his car will start after a rainstorm in just a few minutes.

im kinda goin on a limb here, but it sounds more like a fuel line problem, or it could be a connection problem with the battery.

O2's have nothing to do with starting your engine.

Clean your throttle body.
