Unhappy Starting problem. Need advise.

If my car has been sitting for a few days, when I go to start it, it fires right up very quickly. (almost instantly) However, if I start my car various times throughout the day, it seems that as the day goes on, it gets harder and harder to start.

I have a new battery. What could my problem be?

I submitted this earlier today when nobody was on the site. I'll give it one more shot then assume nobody knows the answer.

Thanks.

vapor lock??...make sure all your fuel lines are clear of anything hot, this will cause the fuel to heat up, and thus causing vapor lock...my old 3rd gen had this problem...

Hmmm. I've never heard of vapor lock before and I wouldn't know how to look for it. Any other ideas?

For a suggestion, check all connections at the coil. Heat induces higher resistance in electrical components and connections. Make sure yours are clean and tight.
