Several more problems with 96 Sebring

Have a 1996 Sebring convertible we just bought - cruise control light will come on but won't engage - any idea where to start?
Have intermittent problems with it starting - has only happened with a cold start - it turns over but it won't start. Later in the day it will start. I bought the car from a friend and she said the fuel pump had been replaced in December. It also eats CDs. I put one in and it won't come out. Do I need a new cd player?

Make sure your battery connections are clean and tight. Could be malfunctioning EGR, spark plugs, sensors going out, but I'd start with the battery.

Thanks again - that gives a place to start!
