Default Crappy Start

i have a 95 3.4 camaro. Recently i got an oil change and tune up, but the car still starts like **** usually take 2 or 3 turns for it to start. Any help, so it will fire right up? Someone told me maybe the EGR Valve. If thats it can i buy this at the local auto zone? Thanks

It may be that the FI system is not holding pressure when the engine is off. could be due to a bad fuel pump (bad check valve), bad regulator, or a leaky injector. Try turning the key ON & OFF several times before turning it to the START position. If the car then starts right up you found the problem, and now you need to find the bad part.

Also define "tune up" -- I assume you change plugs/wires?
More than likely, like Pete says, it's a fuel pump going weak.
