hard start issue

[robert weinberg]

hi all,

fairly new phenomenon in the last couple of days. my 200 used to just fire right 
up.

the car starts, but now it takes 2-3 seconds of cranking - with the throttle 
partially open, before it catches. once running, the engine idles smooth and the 
car runs perfectly fine.

i'm fine with it - but don't want to get stuck at some point. it still pops 
right off once the engine is warm.

any ideas?

thanks,
Robby
