Another problem :(

Upon starting if the engine isnt a lil warm or has been sitting a while, it wont always have a smooth start and sometimes it will fumble around a little bit and then start. The only things i can think of are low fuel pressure or get a new battery. Anyone have any suggestions?

Fuel Filter sounds like it needs changing Your injectors are pumping what little they can get out of your old filter's deteriorated/blocked filtering process.. causing it to "fumble" on starting..

I had a pontiac that did the same thing once. Once it was running it was good.

Turned out to be the fuel filter.
