Well since the car was starting better during the winter which I really find odd, I hadn't gotten around to checking the fuel pressure untill today. The pressure reads at around 35 psi. Does anyone know what the normal pressure should be?
Thanks
Frank

Thanks for the reply BillBoost37. My son took it to his auto class since he wanted to get marks for doing an oil change, while there I asked if he could check the fuel pressure. The teacher later told me it was at 35 psi. and didn't give me anymore details. Since you believe it'* normal then I need to look elsewhere to solve my problem.
Thanks again
Frank

I've tried these methods:
1.Try cranking.......will start after 20 seconds.
2.Ignition on and off 3 times before starting and no difference.
3.crank over for 5 second, then 5 seconds again, then 5 seconds again before starting
My first posts explains it more in detail.
Thanks for the suggestion guys and gals..

Have you checked the TPS voltage at idle position? This will effect how the car starts.
Signal wire should be 4.2-4.6 volts, key on, engine off.
Guess I'm confused. Thought you said it starts right up when hot.
So that means the trouble is on cold starts?
