Howdy All -
Found this archived post that is pretty spot on for my problem -
The above linked post is pretty much my exact problem, right down to the test - if I cycle the ignition (and thus the fuel pump) three-four times without cranking, starts like a champ on the first few seconds of the first crank. otherwise, I could turn it over forever on the first crank and it will never start. starts on the second almost always and sometimes the third.
Had it in the shop and the best they could tell me was that it might be the idle air control motor. Thats allot cheaper than the fuel pump that the other post suggested....
Anybody have any more recent experience with this? Before I drop 300 in parts and gawd knows how much in labor for a new fuel pump wanted to check in with y'all first... thanks in advance!
