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. --- In dmcnews@xxxx, Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx> wrote: > Hi All,
