Re: hard to start 2004 Clean your throttle body and MAF, once you do that the car will be perfect and start up everytime with no problem

Re: hard to start 2004 Yeah check TB. Its easy to clean.
Just 4 bolts and harness. TB spray with cloth.
Maybe add some fuel cleaner. Clean MAF while you are at it.

Re: hard to start 2004 Make sure you take the tb off to clean it, so that you can get all of the grime off. If you're really bold clean the UIM as well because it will be just as dirt, doesnt affect startup but will allow engine to breath easier
