My 95 wagon has always had trouble starting it seems in hot weather. I notice it also when I am making several stops with not much time in between starts and stops. It will buck and stall but I can usually get it going with a lot of pressure on the gas pedal....but it sometimes takes several tries. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Has the check engine light come on? Have you checked fuel pump pressure?
