Cold Start Problems

Hey everyone,

My 1987 Firebird 305 has been having slight issues on cold starts. It has the 4 bbl Rochester. It starts then dies the first time, but then starts up the second time after a couple of seconds. Every time. After it has warmed up, it starts right up perfectly.

I'm wondering if it is a fuel pump problem?

However, I also noticed that it has been running rich lately. Could this cause flooding on cold starts or any other problems? I never have to pump the gas when I start it.

Thanks in advance!
