Still Starting Badly
well, my alero, from sitting several hours, will not start, like, putt fart die, its just horrible starting.
if i go and start it even when its lukewarm, it starts fine. but it WILL NOT START if its cold.
now when its cold, and it has over a half a tank of gas, and i hold the accelerator down a tiny bit, it starts right up and runs fine.....
WTF!?!?

Sounds like you need full coverage insurance.
Hang out Saturday night about 2am outside a popular bar. Get hit by a drunk.
Buy a nicer car.

I vote compression test. Smoke in the coolant, sounds like a story from the Crypt Keeper.

have you cleaned yout TB lately? also, you could have a bad head gasket? when its cold, its allowing coolant to pool in your cylinders and when its hot, it doesn't have enough time to leak? maybe?
