I recently bought a 97 lumina 3.1V6 and after a couple weeks now, when i try starting the car it turns over like it's going to start but doesn't, if i turn the key off and right back to start, most of the time it cranks with no hesitation. (sometimes a third time is required). When i go to crank it though if i just turn the ignition on for a few seconds and repeat a couple times then it will start right up so i doubt it's anything to do with my starter. I've replaced the plugs, wires, fuel filter, and now have a fuel pump ordered. I'm really not sure as to where to go from here if pump doesn't work. Also for a week now, sometimes when i accelerate it acts like im barely pressing the gas, doesnt matter if i have the pedal all the way down or not, then after a little while it starts accelerating just fine.
