Sluggish start-up A little while back the check engine light came on the car saying bad passenger side cat. Well I drove the car a little longer than I should have before getting it fixed and when I would go to start it, it would gradually take longer and longer. After I got the cat replaced it is still doing it. When I tap the gas it will usually fire up a little easier, but if I dont sometimes it wont start at all. Do you guys think its a fuel problem? Where should I start on this?

even after you replace your fuel filter you will STILL hear the fuel pump prime... my filter is brand new and i can hear the pump loud and clear...
but my car does crank over a lil while before it starts too. Could be a number of things. But im not replacing hte fuel pump because i want to go to a standalone EMS and do a full out fuel system (sumped tank, dual 8an lines into y-block into 10an, then into a A1000 pump... you get the idea)...
