This issue doesn't really bother me because it happened so rarely, but its happened two times today. I'll turn off the car, go do something for five minutes or less, and then come back to start the car. The problem is, sometimes it just keeps cranking and wont start. When this does happen, I have to wait 30 seconds to a minute to start it, but then it starts right back up like nothing happened.

It almost feels like the car is flooded and needs time to clear out, which makes me think it might be a leaky injector. Its getting air, so its either an injector or the distributer.

I dont know if its related or not, but in the morning when the car is cold the engine kinda stumbles to life. It will catch and run very roughly at 500 rpm or so, then snap to l1500 rpm (cold idle). Lasts less than a second, but I figured it was worth mentioning.

 

bump

 

maybe..

Bad injectors
bad spark plugs
bad spark plug wires

 

main fuel relay... common problem and a cheap and easy fix

 

As in the main relay? I took that out once and resoldered the points.

 

check your resistor box, the same thing happened to me

 

HOW MUCH FOR THE BRAKES ?
