When I start the car in the cold it comes close to starting but when it doesn't it wont start again until I pop the clutch and after I pop the clutch it starts right back up fine. My car has 110000 miles and new battery, and plugs, wires, and distributor cap changed about 10000 miles ago. What could it be?

Hard starting is caused by many different things. Because of that, can we run through this guide and get started with this?

I would focus on checking the fuel pressure first and foremost so here is a guide that will help with doing this test:

If the pressure does not look correct or even a little low I would change it as you have an access panel for it which makes it pretty easy.

Below is the info from the manual that shows how to do that. Please run through this info and let us know if you have other questions. Thanks
