the annoying hard start issue

So I got it resolved.
Initially I tried the part throttle opening of the IAC, still no start. Knowing that it was getting air and knowing it was getting fuel I thought more about the spark. Turns out you need more than just a spark. You need a good spark! It had the original Ignition coil still in there and after 200,000 miles it was time for a new one. I threw that in and it roared to life.
Its running better than it has in a year. No more hesistation off a stop, no more poor idle, and lots more power!

So yeah, heres my follow up in case anyone else has a similar issue.

Thanks for following up! Congrats on the fix!
 
Resurrecting this thread. Wondering if Nathanael ever figured out his issue. I'm having same issue as him and replaced the ignition coil like Jeanette Matter above and still having issues. I've swapped out the plugs/wires, fuel filter, check valve, ignition coil, temp sensor, distributor cap/rotor, and a fuel pressure test. Painful.....
