Hello all,

Okay, here is the symptom: When I try to start the car first thing in the morning 95% of the time it takes around 5 seconds for the engine to start. It's either that or it dies and I have to crank it a second time. But when the engine is warm (like it was turned off for 15 minutes or so) the car always starts flawlessly.

I currently have 58k miles and will be doing the 60k service (which includes engine tune-up). Is this all it needs (new plugs, etc)? A year ago the hard start would occur around 10% of the time, then the occurance slowly went up to where it is now.

Thanks in advance.
