Ok. I need some help with my car.

She has 170,000 miles on her and within the last week been getting harder and harder to get started. She'll crank for a few minutes before she catches and that's if she starts. I cleaned the rotor and cap and all the wire connections dealing with the coil. The plugs are good. The fuel pump and filter is less than a year old.

She seems to only do this when she's cold. But I got her fired this morning on the first try, but when i let her cool down for a few hours she cranked up but then died while idling.

I'm burned out for ideas. If anybody could help it would be great.

thanks,

Matt
