Hard starting
My buddy has an 87 w/91k.Sometimes when he tries to start it the car will barely idle and die if the gas peddle is not pressed a little.After doing this a couple of times the car will fire right up and idle fine.Any clues on what could be causing this?

Re: Hard starting (tsquare)
If it starts right up when cold and the hard start is only after the car has been driven and hot then sits for at least twenty minutes, it sounds like the same
problem I have with my 88.Look for leaky injectors.I'm replacing mine with lucas injectors which is what GM was doing back when the cars were still under warranty, in place of the bosch injectors.Good luck. Jim
