    Starting Issue

    I'm having a starting issue. My car will only start once and I have to apply a little throttle for about 2 seconds or else it will just die. After the car has been started, it will not start again unless I pull the plugs and let it air out. This is driving me insane. Has anyone had this issue and know how to fix it? If your diagnoses fixes my problem, I will paypal you a dollar to show my appreciation.

      I think you have multiple issues. Your air:fuel ratio is not optimal for running. You should check for vacuum leaks, FPR, or leaky injectors.

          I end up purchasing new injectors last night in a fit of rage, so that will potentially fix that if that is part of the issue. I'll look into the other 3. Thank you for replying I'll post updates to this thread.

              Ran the car on a drive for about 40 minutes. I started to a faint gas smell. I got home. Popped hood. I don't see any gas leaking under or on the gas lines. I'm starting to believe my af ratio is too rich. I am going to purchase a replacement fpr and install with my new injectors along with ms. And have it tuned all at the same time in hopes it's just from running lean. Any other possibilities or words of advice?

                  Check your rubber fuel lines. They might have many cracks in them after 20+ years.
