Default hard to start 03

Have a '03' Santa Fe, hard to start, 2 or 3 attempts, but does start, runs well after starting.
60,000 on motor, maintained on regular basis, no major problems yet.

Probably you should do plugs, wires, fuelfilter, and airfilter. At 60,000 miles your timing belt is due for changing.
