pull the code form your ecu and then look up what the code is.

 

pull the code its fairly easy, its probabaly a ks or a oxygen sensor that went

 

can auto-parts or auto-zone pull it up for you? :-D

 

why would you even say that? for one thing neither of those sensors would cause a hard start issue. the knock sensor doesn't even throw a CEL. Unless you know what you're talking about, don't put you .02 in.



As for the thread starter: Read the FAQ's at the top of the forum. these will tell you how to check your ECM for codes and also what the codes mean.

 

Yeah, it seems sometimes that wrong advice is given so nonchalantly on this forum. I've never had a cold start issue, but I did have a hot start issue caused by the EVAP and boost sensor.

The thread starter's car is not high mileage, so it'd be curious to know what is causing the issue. My car has 96k and the EVAP went bad in the high 50's. Nothing since except the airbag lamp.

 

Yes, for free. That is where I go to have my CEL checked out...

 

be sure to check your throttle body. mine was pretty dirty and it caused hard starts. after i cleaned it, no more problem.
