starting problem...
i am gonna do a search and put this in tech Q&A also but this is the problem.
My car has been having a hard time starting off and on. I looked at the mass air flow and it looks dirty but should still work....i slightly cleaned the throttle body and i put a new coolant temp sensor in because the fans have been acting wierd. But still no luck finding the problem. I am thinking bout the timeing and checking each vacuum line but i would think this car should still start up the same each time i put the key in it...but right now i can go out and sometimes she will fire right up other times it make take 10 seconds or so. Anyone have any ideas?? |

Are the sparkplugs in good shape?
I also had starting problems after adjusting the TPS. Rotating it one way it wouldnt start unless I had my foot on the accelerator. Rotating it the other way it fired right up. Maybe a new fuel filter and some drygas in the tank would help?

clean gas...plugs have 2000 miles on them might be the TPS...been thinking bout that...once she is started she runs great. odd, but i am messing with it...thinking about cleaning out the whole top end....throttle body, intake, valves, injectors. and fuel rails....might be worth the effort. All the fun you can have with a SVX
