Car won't start-what are the usual suspects?
Since I bought my Formula in Feb I have had it not want to start 3 times. No real correlation between the three so I want to know what to check. Here are the details:
5.0 converted to 350
Retro LT-1 intake
Accel DFI Calmap 6.32
Shows gauge disengage when in start postion.
Fuel pressure is fine so pump is engaging.
No clicking from starter.
2 things I am thinking of:
starter cylinoid problem (heat soak), I remember it being somewhat warm the last 2 times but don't recal the first time
or
VATS, I am not exactly sure how it is by passed for the DFI.
Looking for things to check.
Thanks
