LT1 Cold Start Question Hello everyone! First off, I'm a previous F-bod owner ('93 Z28). I sold it awhile back after having some head gasket issues around 200k. I looooved the car though.
Anyway, I'm looking at getting backing into an F-body! I've come across a '95 Formula Firebird with the LT1. It has 143k miles with the automatic transmission. The transmission has been rebuilt about 16,000 miles ago and the seller also reports that the plugs, wires, filters and PCV valve were replaced 2,000 miles ago (and I know how much a PITA the spark plugs can be). He is asking $3000 for it (which I thought was a pretty good deal). It's black and has tan leather interior. The carpet has a couple of stains in the back it looks like and a small crack in the dash. Do you guys think this is a good deal?
My question is, he said that it has a hard time starting when cold. He said that when it's warm, it has no problem firing right up. He did say that it runs great down the road and everything. He said he thinks its the injectors? Is this a good possibility or is there another issue that could be affiliated with this? Or any common problems? If so, how hard are the injectors to replace?
Thanks for your input and am looking forward to hearing some responses!
