a co worker of mine just bought his daughter a 92 SI 4WS.

he said it cranks up fine, but if you turn it off and try to crank it again in like 5 or 10 minutes, it takes a few times, but if it sits there for a while just chillen, then it starts up first time, but really annoying to like run into the bank or the store, and have to sit there trying to crank the car for about 5 or 6 times


thought on what this problem is?

 

Is it flooding? Have him pull a spark plug when he turns the car off to see if it is soaked with gas.

Also, how old is the distributor cap and rotor?

 

ill have him check that.

also i will reccomend to change the dist. cap and rotor.

he dosnt know how old they are, bought the car last week. so we are gonna assume that they are 14 yrs old

 

You might wanna tell him to look into getting a main relay also. I had this problem when I first bought my lude and it hasn't been an issue since I swapped the relay.
