hard to start 03
 

Have a '03' Santa Fe, hard to start, 2 or 3 attempts, but does start, runs well after starting.
60,000 on motor, maintained on regular basis, no major problems yet.

Normal maint. oil changes, brakes, filters, etcNo major parts, belonged to my Mom (inhereted) Runs fine, gets around 20mpg.

Probably you should do plugs, wires, fuelfilter, and airfilter. At 60,000 miles your timing belt is due for changing.
