My car (350 TPI) is having a horrible time starting if sitting for more than an hour. It use to be only a couple sec but now im up to 5min for my car to start. It cranks and cranks but wont fire. It wants to fire but then stops and keeps cranking. As soon as I sprayed starter fluid in it started. Whats the problem?

 

This seems to a common problem. I would check to make sure you got proper fuel pressure. If your fuel pressure is fine, check the injectors. Ohm them out to see what they are reading when the engine is cold and when the engine is hot. I had the same problem with mine and I found 4 bad injectors. Replaced them with bosch 3's from www.fuelinjectionconnection.com and now it starts up everytime plus it runs way way better. Its very common that the injectors are bad on our cars.

 

Im getting a mechanic (that we know so its cheap) look at it today. He worked on these cars since new so I feel safe.

 

Post his diagnosis.... Thanks
