Hard Start

Have a problem getting started. It takes three to 4 cranks to get started whether cold in the morning or the car has been off 5 minutes. Once it finally hits good, it starts right up and is fine. It sounds like lack of gas but once it starts evrything is fine.

Plenty of crank power. New alternator. New IAC, clean MAF, new plugs, wire, air filter, gas filter, pvc, oxygen sensor, etc...

Any Thoughts???

Try tapping on the ignition module with a screw driver handle when your trying to start it. This may get it to work briefly. Or you you can get a used one from an auto wrecker for really cheap and just replace it. You need a 7/32, 1/4 inch drive socket ( grind the socket down to fit inside the hole on the module).
Good luck.
