    little trouble starting

    hi so i previously bought a 87 bronzit, 2.5 straight pipe and cold air intake, and its a great machine!! BUT when i start her up it takes a while before she catches, PO says its the thermo switch on the coolant reservoir, just want to make sure what thermo switch it is so she can start normally, thanks -Jay

    There is no switch on the coolant reservoir. The only thing there is a level sender.

    Does the car just crank for a long time or does it cough while cranking?

        Check fuel filter and bad hoses and fuel pressure, and O2 sensor, plugs, Plug wires, Dist, and Rotor, coil spark etc.
