Re: '00 GLS hard starting

Another possibility/suggestion - a few years ago my 2000 started taking about 5 seconds to start. This showed up mostly with a still-warm engine that had been shut off for a while. Starting remained pretty good with either a cold engine, or with immediately re-starting a warm engine that had just been shut off.
The problem was the fuel pressure regulator (FPR). The FPR showed the classic symptom of having fuel in its vacuum line.
