The problem is that the car will start and run normally then after the initial run it might start or it might not. It has plenty of spark and is correctly timed,new fuel filter,new temp sensor. Could this problem be a Weak Fuel Pump? If not please give me some more options. thanks

if u havent fixed this problem by now, i have an idea whats wrong, your main fuel relay needs to be changed. does the car starts at nights or when its cold, and when its hot or on a hot summer day it wont start, if thats the case its definately the main relay. what happens is that after about 10-12 years the soldering in the relay start to crack, becase of the hot an cold temperature the solder expands and retracts, after a while they crack and dont make contact when its hot. this main relay is located under the dash board under driver side costs like $55 dollar at the dealer. I had the same problem and found post that told me the same thing, so im just passing on the knowledge to a fellow tegs owner.
GOOD LUCK.

I second that tegs. I have same exact car and it had same exact symptoms. I got the relay aftermarket for $30. It is very simple to replace and once i replaced mine - the car has started every time.
