I'm having a really hard time getting my SL to start cold. This morning was really tough - a bit damp out and in the low 50s - so not real cold. Took me about 60-90 seconds of cranking and then it fires, very slowly at first. After a few minutes of babying the gas pedal, it will run fine.

Hot starts are fine and once car is warmed it, it runs great! Warm starts ok as well, but starting gets progressively more difficult the colder the motor gets.

I have looked at the cap and rotor and they look very good...

any thoughts?
