Car starts on second attempt only, no matter time of day. Works great and is well maintained. Recently replaced computer as the original died. Problem went away and returned 3 days after new computer was installed. Spark plugs are dry, no leaks. No stuttering or rough idle. Any ideas?

Hello, I'd put a fuel pressure gage on it, check pressure key on engine off.
