My 2002 is beginning to have starting problems. It cranks for a long time until it finally fires up. I'm changing the fuel filter to see if that will fix the issue. Anything else I should look for? I've read that the IAC should be cleaned/replaced. Can someone tell me where this is and how to do it. Any suggestions? Thanks!

 

Does it smoke when you do get it started? Possible fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator going bad. You don't have a IAC problem, but do a search for a lot great info.

 

Nope, it doesn't smoke at all after starting and seems to run fine after it starts, only sometime idles kinda rough. Just cranks way too long. It used to start right up.

 

I would check for fuel pressure leaking down. Put a fuel pressure gage on and watch for pressure to fall within 20-30 mins of sitting with the engine off. If the pressure falls considerably I would say the fuel pressure regulator is the problem.
