Hello my name is Dave.

Does it have any stored trouble codes?

Here is a link to our tutorial on checking for codes:

Have you checked the condition of the fuel filter and checked the fuel pressure at start up? Fuel pressure issues would be my first suspect providing there aren't any codes. If you can let us know what you find on these points that would help us greatly in guiding you to the issue and thank you for using 2CarPros!

I checked the fuel pressure it's okay and no code stored. car runs fine after hard starting and start immediately when it's hot. I replaced ECM, spark plugs, camshaft sensor , crankshaft sensor and there's still no luck. what else did you suspect the problem should be?
