had a hard time starting today
i whent out today to start the car to move it up in the drivewy because i had some friends commin over to watch the bucs game. well i tryed to start the car and it just cranked so im like wtf so i get my starter spray and spray it on my injectors hurry around and try starting it and boom it car fires right up but, ran for like 2 secs and stalled out, so i did it agin and the same thing
i tryed this about 10 times and each time i had to put the spray on to get it to start but when it started it kept dieing. and right when i was about to give up and go inside i tryed it one more time and boom starts up and runs fime :confused: :confused:
what can be causing this, once its started it runs great. no check engine light nothing
any ideas

All engines require spark, fuel, air, to run. You are missing one or more of these and you need to determine which. Use your timing light to see if you have spark and at the right time. Measure fuel pressure and put a low power 12v lamp on the injector socket to see if your injectors are being pulsed. Remove the flexible air horn on the MAF to ensure you are getting air.
