Starting problem
Hey,
Engine cold:
Turn key to start, starter click and engage flywheel strong sounding, sounds like engine is being turned over then a few cyl firing, then stops dead.
Not the metal sound of pistons screeching, but
Press accl down once, then repeat and starts OK, yet still sounds like it is being cranked then firing, rather than crank/turnover simultaneously.
TPS, old spark wires, coil? Cap and rotor are new brass contacts ~6mos old. Plugs have prob 10K on them ~ 5+ years old.
Problem recurs with Premium gas too. Fuel filter PurOne ~10K miles. Oil good, Coolant good. Heater/AC doesn't work.
Engine warm:
No problem, starts up with a roar (dual cherry bombs) = awesome. Purrs on road at 75, nice cyclical rhythm. Accel and Tranny accel, gear drop on sudden accel - even better than it has been. Actually it's running better now like some crap was blown out.
Drive maybe 50mi a week.
