Sometimes the car doesn't want to start on the first try. Definitely made worse in heat and after rain.

I have never had so many issues in my life as I have with this stupid 1998 Ford Escort. First it was the cooling system, now this. The car ran fine the night before then go figure I try to start it to head to work and it won't start. I really have no idea what It could be. The starter, alternator, and battery is fine.
