Hard start

When I start the car every morning or whenever its been sitting for a little while it takes a little time to finally turn over. When it is warm it turns right over. What should I look at to make it start quicker. Could it jsut need a simple tune up with sparkplugs, wires, and cap and rotor?Let me hear some suggestions please.

Ya, It wouldnt hurt to give it a try. I have no clue what else to do. Sometimes in the winter it would just keep trying and would never turn over until i punched some gas on the pedel, had to keep giving it gas to keep it going until it would warm a little.




If this makes sense to anyone

When I first start It goes, reer reer reer reer reer vroooom
When its warm it goes reer vroooom

Fuel?

Check to see if your getting fuel when its cold it might be bleeding back to the tank and taking a few seconds to get up to the injectors. Aside from that how old is the ignition system. Plugs, Wires, Distributor, Run some tank and injector cleaner though.

Not sure of the age of the ignition, I know it cant be too old, the guy before me did them all. The car wasnt emissin legal when I bought it, maybe it messed them up a little? The injectors are fairly new and I had run cleaner in it too. I should try a full tune up?
