Some times I have to sit for 10 minutes before it fires up and catches on. On cold mornings, cool weather, it starts up right away. Have no problems driving once I get going.

Will it not crank over? Or does it crank and crank without firing up?

SignatureShut up, Dave. -|>|- Diode -|<|- '68 L-79 Coupe '79 Triumph Bonneville Well gee we have to give dave some credit he got the " doesnt start " part right. For a guy that spends his life fixing Hvac equipment he shows he`s a 1st class Bozo. I bet he has soaked alot of innocent good folk. >>> 2.My car has a hard time starting when engine is hot.

I suppose it could possibly happen if the fuel pump was on it's way out or needing a new fuel filter. I would start by running some fuel dryer through it. Then fill it with the highest octane gas you can find from a gas station with the newest underground tanks. You could also put some heat shielding on the fuel line where it is in the engine compartment near any heat sources. Good luck, SignatureRobotron Tom *remove nospam to email* See the Flashback Arcade at: http:// www.arcadeguy.net Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character. -M.
