Kaden,

First, there is no need to make a 2nd thread for the same problem. Second, make sure you have enough gas in the car before starting it. Third, get a copy of the Factory Service Manual (FSM), if you do not have one already. Fourth, refer to FSM Pg F1-48 (for N/A) or FSM F2-44 (for Turbo) to check the Fuel System. There is a troubleshooting chart that will assist you. I recommend checking for fuel line pressure and fuel hold pressure. This would also check the operation of your fuel pump which is the 3rd next possible problem. Finally, please use the forum's search function. I would bet that other members had the same hard to start issue.

Alternately, if the fuel pressure/fuel pump is good then verify that your ignition coils are producing the proper spark. Refer to the FSM to test both leading and trailing coils. A spark plug tester from an auto parts store is an alternate way to test coil and spark plug.

Let us know what results you find, please.

Cheers,
George
