Hard Start

Every Morning Or When I Let The Car Sit For More Than 3 Hours The Car Does Not Start Right Away.
It Take About Three Time To Start And I Have To Give It Alot Of Gas And When It Starts I Have To Keep Giving It Gas. After The Car Is Warm I Never Have Problems.

Is the CEL lit?

Clean the throttle body and the IACV.
It may also be a faulty ECTS (engine coolant temp. sensor) - but I would expect that to throw a CEL.

seems like your not having any residual pressure hold. cycle the key to on and off next time before you start your car.
