I've been chasing a hard start but it really wasn't that bad. I took it up to the goodyear shop to get the radiator flushed & filled. When I got it back the mechanic said that the coolant temp sensor & pigtail was shorting. He said it was a common problem on a 350.
Then when they handed over the keys I couldn't get the car started. We had to play with the MAF & injectors to get it going. The mechanic that help me get it going told me that the opti was going out.
So I'm suspicious if they got coolant on the opti & finished it off.
Now I got the car home & ordered a bunch of parts & am going to replace the opti & some odd ball components up front. It will probably take me 2 weekends & a couple of trips to the fridge.
