After the 3rd try (when the car started), was it ideling normally?

When you put your car in gear, was it smooth, or did it jerk?

Notice any difference in fuel consumption and/or acceleration?

Without using the a/c, do you still here the hissing?

Once I got the car started it idled fine, ran smoothly - no real problems. It seems as though the main thing is that when my car is hot, I can't hear the fuel pump prime prior to starting the car - this is what usually takes about three tries until I can hear it do it's thing. Does that make any sense?
