meeh, well i filled my tank up and i stupidly didnt get the top seal on correctly. But boy was it starting good untill i overfilled the tank and all the gas poured out the top, now its right back to taking forever to start after just an hour or 2.  :icon_sad: sigh, i guess ill be pulling the tank back down in a few days........

ok i fixed it, those retarded FI clamps didnt crimp correctly, and the hose partially came off the pump  :icon_rolleyes: just filled it up, not a drop of gas, and I let it sit for 5 hours, and it fired on the first turn of the key. If nayones having mysterious hard cold starts, definatly think about that hose on the pump, or the pulsator, My pulsator was so freakin gapped out it couldnt have been holding pressure worth a damn!

So i ran into a hard start again suddenly. I noticed the fp wasnt running when you first hit the key, and when you cranked it over for abit, it suddenly would come on and the car would start. I rememberd the pump is wired through the Oil pressure switch and when oil pressure was made the pump got power and the car could finally start. Replaced the relay and its been perfect again. Just an idea for some of you guys having hard starting issues!
