Unlike the earlier poster, I haven't found any correlation to dampness, warm, cold, etc. It started before Christmas and is still lingering.
Stats - 95 900 SE Turbo 5 speed almost 195,000 miles. I've had it for almost 5 years. Replacement DI before I bought it. Since ownership - clutch, clutch cable, idler pulley and belt, other misc stuff.
Put some fuel injector cleaner in it as soon as the problem started and filled with 93, crossed my fingers it would just go away. I've filled up two more time and it's still just as intermittent, well okay, it seemed to be about 80% hard start / 20% normal. I can't seem to find a correlation with conditions as to why. It's never failed to start. I've put about 1500 miles on it since the habit started. Longest time to start has been nine seconds.
Runs like a champ after started. No idling issues, misfire, etc.
Before I take it to my Indie, anything to check? I've noticed the CCP posts but I have a manual. Everything I've read about the DI seems to be catastrophic, not a slow death. I could probably use some new plugs...
