Default Hard to start

This last weekend my Supra has been having some starting issues. I turn the key and it cranks fine but acts like it's flooded. I can tell it's trying to fire and sometimes eventually does. Then it's just sputtering but will clear up after about 15 seconds and run just fine. What might be the cause of this all of a sudden?

Are you maintaining your car?

Spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap and rotor (if N/A), fuel injection cleaner, air filter.

It could be a lot of things, even a BHG.
Sometimes you will get moisture in the combustion chamber and that will make the car not want to start.
Not saying that is your deal, but just that it can be many things.

I've only owned the car for a month so I'm not sure about previous maintenance. It was running great for the first 3 weeks after I purchased it. This problem just recently started. Once it's started, I can drive it, turn it off and re-start it anytime without any problems. I checked the plugs and they look good. The number 6 plug looks different. Not bad different so much, but the porcelain is more white and has some brownish spots on it. I keep seeing people make reference to some TSRM item. I'm assuming it's a repair manual? Where can I purchase one of these? Is it a dealer item or can I get it from the auto parts store?

That's great. Thanks Tony! Hopefully this will stay online for a while. I don't feel like trying to print out every page!
