Default first car, first problem

hi, i just became a member to this site, i just turned 17 and i bought my first car, a black 95 mustang, love it more than anything. now i've got my first problem, when i go to turn it often takes more time then it should to catch, it usually takes longer in the morning when it hasnt been startedall night, seems to catch a lot easierafter its been started recentlyand my check engine light is on, i've been told that this could be just a line thats having trouble getting the gas to the engine, i would love some advice on what it might be, and how many bones it'll cost me, thanks : )

You need to get the codes pulled so you will know what is going on. Oh and welcome to the forum and congrats on getting your first car.

An auto parts store should be able to read the code for free. If the CEL lights is not related to hard starting a fresh $10 fuel filter might be a good idea along with some injector cleaner, the kind you add to your gas. Other general things to check on a car: clean air filter (remove the rubber boot on the end of the filter housing for max flow) tire pressure, clean out the throttle body.
