Ignition Help...Again
Hey fellas, as I said in my previous post for ignition help, I have replaced the rotor, cap, plugs, wires, module, and coil. All brand new parts. I did this because 1) I didnt know when the last time this stuff was done, and 2) It was hard starting like crazy, if I left it off for more than say 30 minutes or so, and I went to start it back up, she would hesitate real bad, and sometimes even sputter. It would take atleast 2 tries to get her started right.
Now, my problem is this, it is still hesitating, and hard starting, not AS bad, but bad enough for me to care. It doesnt sputter, but like I said, it is still hard starting. Anybody have any ideas? Would it be the battery? What about the starter?
All help is appreciated, and thank you very much in advanced!

Check out your carb and your compression. If you got good spark it is most likely one of those two.
Bogging, hesitation, and sputtering or more likely a bad accelerator pump. Hard starting can fall into that as well.
There is also the chance of a bad headgasket or valvetrain.

Have you replaced your IAC (idle air control valve)? This gets stuck sometimes and your engine doesn't start and run at high idle when cold like it should,or like mine,either idles way high when warmed up or idles real bad and loads up rich,either one in town driving is a real pita.Oh,and sometimes starts hard when warmed up.
