Starts funny

This has happened to the 1994 I have now and the 1992 I had, so I am thinking this is common .
I go to start the car if it turns over 5 or 6 times and starts no problem like 99.9 % of the times ,but only once now and maybe 4 times with the 92 the car does not catch and the car sounds flooded . Hold it to the floor and crank it for about 10 seconds and it starts. Just like the old carb cars. Just wondering if this happens to anyone else?
Any theory on why?

Re: Starts funny

that's how it starts, becoming more frequent or eventually going away all together. not saying that it's surely an injector but it sounds exactly like when the bottom well plugs leak on a quadrajet, intermittently floods the car out.

Re: Starts funny

Now people are telling me to spend 100's of dollars. For no reason. If your car stalled once would you replace the fuel pump? I got accused of making guesses. I will wait until I have more trouble than one miss start out of 600. Normally it will start in less than 3sec..I had this happen to my 92 10 years ago when it had 30,000 miles on it.
