Slow start even after new fuel pump

Replaced the fuel pump... slow start got better but is back in full effect again. replaced spark plugs and coil strip but still no solution. Car has ~81K miles on it and its a pain in the ***... cycling the key sometimes helps sometimes it doesnt. Ordered a crank sensor but that doesnt seem likely..


Any help would be appreciated.

Checked fuel lines? Could have refueled with a bad batch of gas that could have dirtied up your fuel lines, and therefore a loss in fuel pressure. Replacing the pump pulled the gas better but then again it also could have moved the **** clogging the lines back into the pump. Try some cleaner in the gas like a fuel injector cleaner and see if that helps. If it does then run it through a couple tanks of gas to see if it continues to improve. If it gets better but does not continue to improve then you may need to replace your fuel lines. Leave the pump, if you do replace the lines, to see if that solves it so that you don't waste any money. I will talk to my mechanic friend who works on everything to see what he says and I will get back with you.
