Few issues on a 97

Have a few issues, and would like an idea of where to start.

1) the cruise decided to stop working

2) the blower motor sometimes works, sometimes don't. Seems like it will start up on it's own if you leave it in the on positon. Also seems to blow a lot less than it use to

3) engine is very hard to start most of the time if it hasn't been driven in a good while

1.) Cruise light on the wheel come on? If so, check your vacuum system clsoe.

2.) Replace the Blower motor, common and easy to do.

3.) Probably a small crack in the rubber hoses of the fuel system, try priming it until the overflow valve sings and see if it starts right up. If it does, theres your answer, replace all the rubber.
