Hello, My old Chevy Lumina usually starts fine, but lately about 1 in 10 times it won't start unless I press gas pedal all the way to the floor. Ordinarily, of course, i don't press gas pedal at all when starting. It always turns over fine, just sometimes won't do any more than that unless I do the gas pedal trick, and then I'm good to go.
My question is am I doing long term damage to the engine by blissfully ignoring this, since I know the "trick" to get it started when necessary?
It always behaves perfectly once it's running -- starting is the only issue.
Thanks Dave
