Help!!!my teg isn't running right
Just recently my car has been having a hard time starting, almost seems like its getting too much gas.
It starts prefectly fine when cold, but once its warm, and I leave it sit for a while (10-70min), it just sits there and cranks over and usually after about 20 or so cranks it starts (if I have the pedal to the floor). Sometimes if I hold the pedal down initially and start it, it works fine, but still sounds like its flooded. I checked compression on all cylinders (its fine) coolant is good, oil is good, sparks plugs look fine (maybe a bit lean, except #4 which is a bit more black). The "CHECK ENGINE" light comes on after running it for about 20 min and the idle goes up to 1500 -2000rpm.
AFA the engine, I only have high compression pistons 11.6:1, bored .50 over, milled head and block, otherwise everything else is stock.

I know this is a super no-brainer but I'm just making sure you know that you dont have to hit the gas when your starting your car because from the way you phrased the question I really can't tell.

Keeping the pedal down on an fuel injected car while cranking shuts off the injectors. That way you can start a flooded car.
Dude, I know nothing about it, but I've heard of leaky injectors in the past. It would make sense taht the problem only happens when warm, as your system stays primed when you shut the car off, then slowly looses prime through a / many leaky injectors, floods the engine. When its still hot, there is still gas in it, when its had time to cool, the gas has had time to evaporate.
Still seems odd to me though, I'd expect the car to still start with 1 leaky injector, since the other 3 cyls shouldnt flood.
BTW, if you are getting a check engine light, why areny you running the code???
