Why would an engine seem to start hard when you first turn it over and then run fine?

Hey JC==I would first take BOTH battery cables off and clean BOTH ends. Make sure there is a good ground between the engine and body. Then go to Auto Zone or another parts store and have the battery and starter checked out. Goodluck Joe

Why wont your car start first thing in the am but is fine all day after the first start?
It could be that the starter or solenoid is in a bind after the engine warms up. Metal expands and contracts with temperature. This is only a solution if it starts when cold which would be the first time it is started. Try starting it cold then shut it off before it gets hot then see if it will restart. If it won't start when hot maybe try replacing the starter. Hope that helps you out.
Why is your engine temperature gauge running low?
first i would start by checking the fluid level make sure its were it should be. if that's fine than it's most likely your thermoste. Replace that and you should be good as new.

Why will a 2004 dodge Intrepid not start after driving a short while?
Have a 98 2.7 litre that would do that. Before doing anything else, replace ASD relay in engine compartment fuse block (diy $12). Would start fine cold, but often would not start after shutting off when engine was warm. Had to wait until engine compartement cooled off. Was getting fuel but no spark.

Why would a 1990 Geo Prizm be very hard to start when the engine is cold but start fine when the engine is hot?
You probably need a new set of plug wires. If the ones on it are original, they are probably breaking down and have a lot of resistance as opposed to a new set.
2004 Ford Explorer was running fine until you turned it off now it will not start but the fuses are all fine and the fuel pump is coming on why won't it start?
Do you mean no crank/no start or crank/no start.... to put it simply, does the engine turn over?

I'd give everything a look before you start the engine and after, leave the engine for a few minutes before you start driving but it should be fine.
