I have a 2000 Chevy cavalier that when the engine is cold , seems to start OK (not great but OK. But when the car has been driven a short time, and engine is warmed up -takes much longer to fire and start. (cranking is longer). At this point , it seems like the engine just barely catches and may not run smooth for a few seconds, then runs ok. Car runs OK . No stalls or anything. Any ideas what the most likely issue is?
