2000 z24 wont start....

my car does not want to start after its been sitting.... it usually takes 6-7 times to start it, or even more. But when it does start it runs great!!! One thing I noticed is that turns over alot slower than usual. I tried putting a booster pack in tandem but still doesnt want to start..

the only code my code reader gives me is O2 sensor, but i havent put one in yet, but that wont help it start... right?

Please help me...

You are wrong. The O2 sensor is located in the exhaust.

The IAT (inlet air temp) sensor is located in the intake.
