hard initial startup and after driving for a while??
Ok so I finally got the T/A up and going so its time to start on some of the little things left.
First thing in the morning or well just the first time I go to start my car the engine will just turn over and over and over till finally it'll start trying to run and will run fine once it starts.Also if I drive for a while and stop and turn the ignition off it will do the same thing except then itll almost act like the starters dragging just a little bit but not much,I have to let it sit for just a few minutes then it'll fire right up and run just fine
I can start it and let it run in the driveway for as long as I want and it'll start everytime I turn it off and start it again..Any ideas suggestions hints or tips?Thanks

Re: hard initial startup and after driving for a while??
What else have you done to it? I'm just trying to get on the same page as far as what could be the issue to try and isolate it. I don't know if you have an EGR valve, but I remember using the wrong type on a car and it struggled to turn over. That doesn't mean it's your issue, though. Just throwing out an idea. If you can, just make a list of some of the stuff you fixed/replaced.
