I am having problems starting.  It will crank for several tries before
it starts.  Each time it seems to take longer.  When I restart it after

running, it fires right up.  I replaced the fuel pump about a year ago.

When I turn the key, the fuel pump powers up normally.  I checked the
fuel pressure and it is normal.  I just replaced the fuel filter, no
help.  I tuned it up a year ago also and just checked the plugs, all
fine.  I replaced the distributor cap and coil but not the coil module.

The wires were replaced also.  I am thinking it is clogged fuel
injectors or maybe the oil pressure switch.  The oil pressure is
reading normal while running.  It runs without missing.  It accelerates

normally but when I floor it, it bogs badly.  I am going to replace the

oil pressure switch but I cannot locate it.  Any help would be
appreciated.

oil pressure switch is located behind distributer, special tool to remove
an replace.
