Hard Start

My 85 takes several tries to get started, at times it starts right up. The behavior is the same regardless if hot or cold. Once it started, it runs good.

I have good fuel pressure. Could the fuel relay have some affect?

Any thoughts?

Re: Hard Start (85shark)

You try changing plugs?? If you say you have good fuel pressure then fuel isn't your problem it must be spark..

Re: Hard Start (85shark)

So far I have replaced Plugs, Wires, Ignition Coil, Cap etc. Cleaned the Throttle Body and Intake.

I'll try replacing the fuel pump and relay, hopefully that will do it.

Thanks
