bad fuel mix or mix sensor......maybe the fuel pump.....it could also be spark plugs//.
My car did the same thing I replace the Fuel Pressure Regulator and now it starts in one crank. Its something like $80 brand new and is located on top of the motor to the right side. The fuel line plugs into it and is held in place by a blue lockin lactch thingy. you cant miss it. Good luck.
****FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR*****
Period....dont waste any time or money diagnosing, its a very common problem. Just replace mine, part is around $200 from Volvo. Installation is literally 5 minutes, I did it myself in that or less.

I have a 2002 Volvo S40, and it was taking longer than normal to start (cranked fine). I read the forums regarding changing the fuel pressure regulator and decided to try that (it's expensive $240 from Volvo, $199 from Carquest). I bought the part, from Volvo (10% discount coupon from parts department) and when I was replacing the fuel pressure regulator I noticed that the vacuum line that connected the regulator to the intake manifold was cracking and could have been the cause of the fault. Since I already had the part, I replaced the whole unit. But if I were to recommend to anyone else, I would change that vacuum line first to see if that corrects the problem. It is under a small black cover on the drivers side of the car near the front of the engine (2 screws)

In physics is there a negative time?
Absolutely! If an object has been already traveling for 30 seconds. If you start your watch at 30 seconds, then t = 0 at 30 seconds! The velocity of the object 3 seconds BEFORE you start the watch would then be t = -3 and 3 seconds after you start the watch would be t = 3.

How do reset a maintenance light 2006 Acura RSX?
You have to hold down the odometer stick for like 10 seconds before starting your car continue to push it in while you start it and hold it for another 10 seconds.. It should go off. that is how I do it because well I can never remember if you have to hold it before or after you start it... Anyway to be 100% it is in your owner's manual... just look up maintenance light and it will tell you
