After it warmed up, it was fine, no CEL, shut it down restarted fine. I suspect fuel delivery, maybe pump or even just filter. Are there any known issues?. The car has 105k mi and runs great. Thanks, Scott Scott Waltham, MA 1996 GL V6 ATX

A clean fuel filter wouldn't hurt anything and is cheap easy insurance against burning up a fuel pump. Worn plugs will also cause hard starting of a cold engine.
