Car started fine 3 days ago and then the next morning was hard to start it took like 15 second and I thought it was going to die but then the car started. What can cause this problem? Battery is new.

Good evening,

I would start by checking the fuel pressure. You may have a bad fuel pump.

A common issue for the check valve to bleed off all the pressure back to the tank.
