yup... my car is like that... and she only has 20380 miles on her. whenever the gas is abit low... like about 6mm above the white line... it doesn't really start up easily. go figures. perhaps advancing the timing will do some help?

That seemed to be the problem I have driven 100miles since I last filled up and Im at 3/4 full. :thumbup: Hopefully this was the only problem.
