My 95 3/5 has just recently shown much hesitation on crank when its cold! It will crank for a good 15-20 combined seconds before it fires and when it does, it just turns right on! No sluggish start or anything. Plenty of fuel. Allow the pump to prime, even multiple times. After the car warms up, it starts immediately. I have bad lifters I'm about to replace but other than that, everything is in pretty good shape?! Please help! |

mine does this because I have an IAT sensor trick. Maybe your IAT is unplugged or not working? Or your temp sensor? DId you check for codes with a fuse in the code slot of the fuse box? plug a fuse into the raised part of the fuse box, and turn the car to ON.. count the times the check engine light flashes.. might help.. |

Low compression? This is the time of year when lots of people find out they need a rebuild because it won't start in the morning. |
