Hi I have a 1998 Chevy Cavalier RS and it has a hard time starting. When I go to work in the morning it turns over right away, but when im going home it wont start unless I turn the key while I push on the accelerator. Ive changed the fuel filter, the battery was changed nov 2009, the spark plugs, air filter, fuel injector cleaner, the cylinoid is recent and it is having problems. Thanks for any advice.

Best thing to do is to have fuel pressure checked with mechanical gauge during one of these no start events. You can also spray starting fluid down throttle body, if engine runs for a few seconds, then problem is fuel (pump, relay, pick-up in tank).
