My car has a hard-start problem. if the engine remain off for few days. I can start up normally.But after drive then remain off for few hours, I have to press the accelerator for quite some times before it can start properly. Idling is also very unstable, sometimes it runs normally while at other times it drops too low, causing too much engine vibration. What is the problem and how can it be fixed? Thank you. KaiKiing

If your check engine light is not on do as Raz said.

Check pump by jumping Fp and +B, pump should run, if OK then most likely an ignition problem like ignitor.
