Hard Startup and Rough Idle
This weekend my car developed an attitude of not wanting to startup as easy as it used to and it became more and more often. Now, it's all the time unless I let it set for a while. Also, the idle sounds really rough but it operates fine once the rpm's start going up. I'm going to replace the fuel filter today and see if that's it, it needs it anyway so I'm guessing that it's it... guessing or praying
. If it's not that, my second guess is somewhere in the ignition, I'll replace the plugs and wires then... anyone else have this problem before? Please tell me it's a clogged fuel filter...

rough idle
1. Check your spark plug if you run over 10000 miles
2. Check air leak from the suction pipe or a vaccume hose.
3. Check inside of the air filter.
Because blow-by oil easily comes back from the turbine.

I already have a kit ordered from Hose Techniques to do a hose job on it. I'll check the air filter to see if there's oil in it and run through all the intake piping to check the connections. Could this be caused by a bad seal inside the motor? I just want to get an idea of the worst it can be.
