Re: #1458 has problems...

I think you have several problems some of which are not interelated. 
When it won't start at all you must first make sure you have spark. 
The no starting may be electrical in nature. The hard start could also 
be electrical but I am guessing fuel. You will need to go over the 
systems that operate from when the car is cold until warm-up. Also 
make sure the lambda system isn't dying on you. That would cause 
running problems as son as the cold start comes off and would kill 
most of the engine's power. If the car hasn't had a tune-up in a long 
time now might be a good time. Secondary ignition breakdown could 
cause some or all of these symptoms. Also inspect all of the vacuum 
hoses, a vacuum leak makes a bad running motor worse.
If you don't like the way the oil pressure gauge indicates you could 
replace the sending unit. One of the list members has a better sender 
that more accurately indicates oil pressure. It is a simple remove and 
replace, you just have to change the clip on the wire.
