I just bought a 88 iroc-z with a 350 tpi. I am having trouble to start it in the morning, it takes 3 to 4 seconds to start. the motor is the original with 134k miles on it. Everything is stock, and I was surprised of the power it has when I floor the pedal and it has no trouble spinning the tires even tough it has a 2.77 gear ratio, so , I almost discarded the posibility that may be low compresion on the cylinders. Has anyone had this kind of trouble before? Could it be a mechanical or electrical problem? thanks

 

how hard is the car to start after driving it for a while? example:say u drive it around then stop to get gas or run into the store for something, does it still take 3 or 4 seconds to start it then?

If its only in the morning I wouldn't worry too much about it. Mine takes about as long when its been sitting all night, and slighty more cranking time is needed overall during the winter. Seems to be the same for all the 8-cylinder f-bods I've seen

Just my opinion
