Default Please help.

Ok so i've noticed then when i park my car at night and start it again in the morning, it ALWAYS has trouble starting, it will ALWAYS start, but its like its not getting enough fuel or something, once it does start though i dont really have the problem anymore unless my car is parked for like 6+ hours and then started, could it be my fuel pump? my starter? i dunno, any input will help.

We need more info like year, miles on the car, how long has it been doing this....stuff like that. Have you had the battery tested? Maybe your not getting power from the battery, or the alternator, or the starter could be bad. Do you have a CEL(check engine light)?

When's the last time you did a tune-up? Could also be a coil pack, fairly common issue for your year. More information would definitely help. GL
