Car hasn't been catching when I crank it first thing in the morning. its like theres no fuel or spark. only seems to be after its been sitting for a few hours (over night)

I can hear the pump prime, filter & injectors should be clear. still has plenty of go, not the head gasket.

Looking for a place to start on this one. Anyone had a similar problem?

Is it about sex? The engine in my car? Or a cure for cancer?
No?

Try the coil, might be on it's way out or even TFI module.
