hard starting
Two of my friends have cavaliers with 2.2 engines and both crank excessively before starting my first thought was a fuel pump or regulator issue but one of the cars has had both replaced recently. My question is is this a common problem and what steps should I take to find out what the problem is without replacing a lot of needless parts.

Re: hard starting
If you press the gas pedal down a little, does it start right up? If so, sounds like the TPS. That fixed my Cavalier with that problem.

Re: hard starting
need to do some diagnoising i'd start with fuel pressure but you'll need a gauge for checking
