Default Diagnostic please

I thought a read a thread about this but could not find it so i will ask again.

92 auto

Car starts fine when engine is cold. Car does not start right away when engine is hot or been driven for a while. When I turn key , all gauges respond but motor just cranks but does not catch on. If I wait for a few minutes it may start. Maybe ten minutes later I try again before it starts. car drives fine while on road.

Also while driving sometimes the "security light" will flicker on and off.

Thanks in advance.

My 93 did the samething. The test when the motor is hot push the gas to the floor if the car starts faster that way then its a leaking injector.

That would be my first guess too If no response, try the Tech/Performance section
