Angry Hard Start
My 03' has recently become hard starting. The starter seems to crank fast enough, and once it has started it runs great- no loss of power, and my mpg is in the 20's over all. Also, it seems harder to start once it has sat 30-40 min after shut off than in the morning. Any help would be great. Thanks
