Have to crank it and crank it.
I suspect a fuel delivery issue - it wants to stall out after starting,
and I sometimes have to nurse it along for a minute or so before it
stabilizes. With my old 96's and even 99's I would have known where to
look for this sort of thing, but with all the monitoring and metering
systems on the more recent models, I really don't know if it's more
likely to be a "hardware" issue (eg fuel pump) or a programming issue
(some box that needs replacing or calibrating). Could also be an ignition
issue. Any ideas for further diagnostics or typical issues here would be
appreciated.

Forgot to add : Hard start is only with engine cold. If I stall at an
intersection (which happens, because the stupid automatic clutch cable is
way out of adjustment) then it starts right up.

This furthers the suspicion of a fuel system issue (lack of pressure?), but
then, maybe I'm just thinking the old-fashioned way...
