Kitt,
Thats what I did. I took certain posts fom this forum and the part number to the fuel pump. They finally decided to replace the fuel pump (after 3 times there) and that solved the hard starting problem. It has started quickly ever since they replaced the pump...

Hmm, I have been waiting for someone to tell me if replacing the fuel pump actually works, so I guess I have to make another appointment and run it back in there again, because the vehicle still does it, by ignition start and by the key fob. I am glad the dealer is right across the street from where I work, although its a pain in the butt to keep running it over there. But by taking a copy of this forum and the part numbers to replace the fuel pump do you think that will convince them? I guess once they hook it up, they ought to see that is the fuel pump. Thank You all for your responses on this much appreciated.
Our fuel pump has been replaced and we haven't had a starting issue since!!!

Great news,that is what i want to hear,but it seems like after the third time they should of realized what is was??? hmmm..but I will run mine over probably on tuesday and hand them all the little notes from everyone on here and say you need to replace the fuel pump, but they will have to test it of course, which is fine, because my vehicle seems to be doing it more and the vehicle too me sounds louder?? unless its my imagination and sometimes it shakes a little bit too,then straightens out..so off to the dealer we go..i will let you know what they say about mine, because sounds like everyone has had success and I am hoping I will too. Thanks for everyone's comments, I truly appreciate them all. Take care and have a great week..God bless you all!!

Great, thanks Don, as stated in the other post I will take comments off of here and take them with me, and hopefully they will get the problem fixed, and I will miss my vehicle though. I just wanted to tell you and everyone who reads this that I found a great wax, its liquid synthetic polish, its called Ice and its made by Turtlewax, it really makes the vehicle shine, and you can even use it in the sunshine. I got it here in Maryland, at Target, great stuff, does not leave any residue on the vehicle at all, use it on everything. Just wanted to say again, thank you for the information appreciate it. Take care and have a great day.

Well I took the vehicle back to the dealer finally they could fit me in and she tried to get it to do the hard starting, and what do you think happened.. we all know what happened. So I told her you need to check the fuel pump, and I left it in their capable hands. So I got a call back later, and guess what? Its the fuel pump, have to take it back Monday as they had to order the part. GM really should come out with a TSB. So when I pick it up Monday afternoon I will let you all know if it cured my problem, I am sure it will. Back thanks again to everyone. Have a great, great weekend. Take care and God bless you all and keep you safe..

I got my Orange HHR back on Tuesday. Monday the part did not come in from West Virginia, the fuel pump that is. The vehicle now runs great, starts with the key fob like it is supposed to, so far so good. Thank you all. Can you tell me where I can get seat covers for my hhr? They are the light grey leather and i am afraid they will get marks all over them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like to make some mods to start off slow and add things in, any ideas? Thank You.
