Vinny1930,
I have found that several of my cars with fuel injection are slow to start if their injectors have the least bit of corrosion or need cleaning. With a good injector cleaner (even works on carbureators) they clean up and do a better job of "spraying" and igniting. That might be part of the solution. Give it a try...even STP is not all that bad a cleaner, but there are some "higher powered" ones that the autoparts store might suggest. Good luck! Bill |
I HAVE SEEN WHERE RUBBER HOSE BETWEEN FUEL PUMP AND FUEL SENDER GETS SMALL HOLE NO LETTING FUEL PRESSURE BUID CORRECTLY CAUSING A LONG CRANK OR THE CHECK VALVE IN FUEL PUMP GOES BAD CAUSING SAME PROBLEM , CAN BE CHECKED WITH FUEL PRESSURE GAUGE IF VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE REST PRESSURE CHECK THERE FIRST |

< src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" =text/> </> < =text/> _uacct = "UA-939292-46"; urchinTracker(); </> just changed the spark plugs in my 98 eighty eight with 76k miles. It has the 3800 V6. Before, it would take 5-10 seconds to start, but now it fires up right away. Cheap and easy way to try first.Edited by: 98olds88 |
