car not starting at all

Sorry about the last post but I ended up getting rid of the 92RS it was way too rusty to do anything with. Now I have an 85 z28 tpi but the thing is that when I try to start it I have to use starting spray to get it started but after it starts it idles just fine but when I turn it off it needs starting spray again whats the problem?

Re: car not starting at all

My camaro did similar thing. It would turn over but not fire and less adding spray. I had my cold start injector timer replaced and it fixed my problem. Maybe that will help.
