when its cold out she fires up on the first revolution nbut after you get her warmed up, say you pull up to the gas station and cut it off she does not wanna start back up. Its been soo bad twice that i had to pull the plugs and let it dry out( its dumpin insane amounts of gas plugs and cylinders soaked) once its running it gets good mileage and runs like a scalded dog. the other night i ran an 08 gt and gottem good went to the gas station to bul**** with the guy cuz he wanted to look at my car and after 20 min of bull****tin it wouldnt start (flooded out) usually i hold it floored and itll start but you can tell sh oesnt want to.

like i said once its runnin it runs fine gets good mileage it only does it when i try to start it up after its warm

i dunno any input is greatly appreciated

check the fuel pressure regulator and make sure it isnt leaking.. the other thought would be your injectors are leaking and bleeding gas into the cyl's. and after it sits overnight the gas leaks down into the pan and the car will start. Does the oil smell like Gas?

no emissions at all( egr,cat, its all gone) its still a map car, big vam adjusted the wheel in it back to stock location, brown tops( had 42'sin it and itook them back out thought they might have been the problem), all of the electronics are stock and old lol


no my oil has a slight hint of gas but i have never smelt used oil that didnt hvea hint of gas to it. it has always done it on eery car i have ever done but this one is terrible. its like the injectors keep firing after i cut it off ( i knowthey arent but thats what its acting like)


i also figured out smething else , if you let it get to above 195/200 degrees and cut it off it will fire right bck up with no problems:shrug: has yet to act up if i let it get around that temp ( temp sending unit in the intake autometer guage)
