Default 2002 Intermittent Start Problem

Have intermittent start problems from day one. Usually it starts the 2nd or 3rd try. The dealer has replaced a fuel line w/check valve in the tank and the igition key module. Lately a backfire has occured during the first start attempt while foot is not on the gas pedal. Anyone have any ideas what could cause this ongoing annoying problem. Plan to take to the dealer agin Monday June 23rd. Thanks. Rich

Are you getting any stored error messages? Fuel or spark seem like the most suspicious areas. Have they put an analyzer on it?

I'm mostly ttt'ing here.
