Cranking problems
I've got an '84 Crossfire that won't start w/o having to use starting fluid!! I changed spark plugs, fuel pump and filter. I took the breather off and watched the injectors when turning the ignition on, sometimes they drip and sometimes they don't. Can anybody give me some more advice as to what my problem is and how to fix it?
Thanks Randy

You couldn't possibly have a cranking problem if you can start the engine with starting fluid. If it starts with starting fluid, then your starter motor is cranking the engine. You clearly have a problem with no fuel being injected when you crank the engine with the starter motor.

Check for fuel pressure
