Okay, I've already replaced cap, rotor and spark plugs. Also replaced the idle air motor due to a previous high idle issue. I've had this car for 3 months now and I can't figure out what would cause it to take so long to start. The outside air temperature has little effect on this. When it's warmed up (which takes considerably longer than my '84 did) then it will start fine. Could it be an old or weak coil? Do they wear out over time? The car seems to run fine other than that. And as always, thanks in advance for any and all input.
