My car is having a hard time starting. It really has me puzzled...

I've gone through just about everything and the only thing I can come up with is the compression.

140, 150, 120, 120, 150, 110, 130, 130



It typically takes about 5 seconds to fire and when it does it sounds like it isn't running on all cylinders for a few seconds then it runs and idols fine. I can shut it off and it will start right up but if I wait 5 minutes or so its hard to start again.



I put a little oil in the 110 cylinder and compression went up to 150.



Is the compression the reason for the hard starts?
