again with the problems starting

its still cold as hell up here, and my car is still giving me problems when it starts. i have checked the new starter, and the new plugs, everything seems okay. but it seems like if i drive my car and let it sit for alittle bit like 2 or more hours it wont start. now, if i start it back up as soon as turn it off, it will start right up, it doesnt even give me problems if it sits over night, but if its for a few hours, or it seems like once every other day and i go to start it, and its no go. i've had this problem for the past week, so i have been doing some reading, but it seems everyone has differnt syptoms and i dont want to confuse myself. once started, it doesnt run rough or anything, it feels strong, steady idle. if my compression is bad or if my fuel injectors are **** wouldnt it give me problems while its running as well? i havent done a comprsssion check, but i did take a peak at the injectors, i dont see any gas on them or the fuel rail, nore do i smell anything when my head is down there so they seem fine. i put fuel injector cleaner in with the gas early this week but that hasnt seem to help. i even had the oil changed for ***** and giggles. when the car doesnt start, i pull the egi fuse out and dry run for a few sec and replace and it will start which makes me think it has to do with the fuel injectors or maybe the filter, but like i said its been freezing up here for like the past 2 months but i havent had any problems until the starter was changed. please help.

If the car is not flooding, I would blame the battery, the starter power cable, or your grounds. If your battery is failing, check your alternator.
