I've done the search, several times in the past two years. None fixes my prob.

Thanks for the reply and the tips. I'll have to try going thru AoA.

Just told them the problem and told them to fix it...

This is the second time in two years I've tried to have this fixed. First time was a no go also. Perhaps I should try an indepd. shop to check for vacuum leaks?

have you tried

leaving the key in the acc position for about 5 seconds prior to starting the car...it resolves the cranking issue.
