Injectors?
1985
I'm sorry, I asked this about a year ago, but I forget the answer.
If it starts great when it's cold, but cranks for 3-5 seconds when warm, is it probably injectors?
Thanks in advance.

No, not necessarily.
Have you done "the test" that are required for any diagnosis?
fuel pressure?
leak down
ohms
spark
timing
Gone thru the service manual flow charts for this? THAT alone will take you to an answer.
It MIGHT be injectors. But in MY world where we do not throw away money, you HAVE to prove the problem before you buy the part !
get some more info and then someone can say with some degree of certainty what to do or buy next,.
If you do not already have it, the NEXT purchase should be the FSM set. The $100 investment may send you straight to a $12 sensor or relay instead of $250 worth of injectors...
