When i start my car it doesnt start. I have to tap my gas paddle a little to start. It cranks, but doesnt seem to start at the first try. After that it starts like i said giving it a tap on the gas pedal. It doesnt give me a problem in the morning, After that it does. Please help!!

You could have a bad fuel pressure regulator. It's a common causer of hard starts - and it sounds like it could be it in your case.

It should be 150-ish. I would order it from a place like autozone - it should be cheaper there then from a dealer. I would deffinately wait for more opinions though before buying it though.
