Longer than normal crank time...
Longer than normal crank time... I wasn't sure where to post this. Hopefully someone can give me a little bit of advice.
Recently I added a Racetronix pump & wire kit, 30# svo injectors & had my car tuned. The car runs great!!!!
It seems like on cold starts, the car wants to crank longer than before. I don't need to crank it real long, but it is not "normal". I have tried priming it, by turning the key on & off a few times before crankning it. This seems to help. If I shut it off after driving it & then restart it, it is perfectly fine.
BTW, I put the pump in a week before the injectors & tune, it didn't have any problems starting after the pump install.
Anyone have this before, is it normal?
Thanks!!!
Jason

I'm just going to check it @ the rail w/ the key on & @ idle. I'm going to pull the in-line fuel filter tonight...

I have come to that same conclusion after starting it cold tonight and smelling the gas.

It starts right away if you give it just a little peddle on cold starts. It smells the garage up something terrible though!!!!

Make sure the motor mounts are good though as the motor torqued over and he almost fell in the gap next to the motor and inner fender! Ahhh the dumb stuff you do when your young!
