Starts & dies over and over but runs good when it finaly runs
87 IROC, 305 TPI, automatic, all stock
I'm getting plenty fuel and spark but it just doesn't want to run. Most of the time it starts fine. Sometimes it will start and die a few times before it runs. Sometimes I just can't get it to start at all. When it runs, it runs great, idles great, no codes, plenty of power.
I have changed the fuel filter, checked fuel pressure, checked for vacuum leaks. Where to go next? Thought I would check the IAC and TPS because that seems to be a commone theme on this site.
