Default Starting Issue

When ever I try to start my 1989 vete after it has been sitting for over 4 hours it takes about 6 seconds before turning over. If I start the car under the four hours it fires up just fine. Need help/advice

Injectors might be leaking, put a fuel pressure guage on start the car check your pressure, then shut it off and check it again then come back every hour and check the pressure, if it goes down then they are leaking. You can take them off and send the to Rich at Cruzin Perf. he will clean and flow check them, that should take care of it.

Hi, sounds like the same problem I'm having, see my post here http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=546065 . I think injectors are also my prime suspect.
