Exclamation Help Please...Opinions

I have an 05' and I have been having some issues with it.

- I can get it to start if it sits overnight but if I drive it more then 20 minutes, turn off the engine and try to restart...it does nothing. Dealership says nothing is wrong with the battery or alternator. It will eventually start after the 5th time of trying.

- My car idles super rough and when I did a search this is what I found...let me know what you think ????

Can you provide us some service history?
It sounds like the usual worn engine anyway, it's possibly time for a compression test.
It may be the catalyzer as well, or worn coils\plugs.
The fuel pump, maybe?

There's a search button that you may find interesting!
