Hi im looking to buy a 1984 newyorker in mint condition accept for this minor problem, the owner took it to a garage and they told him it needed a valve job? correct me if im wrong but it makes no sense! the engine starts right up when cold but when it has warmed up some and shut it off you need to give at least 4 tries to start it and without touching the gas peddle then it will start they tell me it is a 2.6 litre engine seems to me if an intake valve was leaking it would backfire trough the carburator, is it possible that the oxigen sensor is messed up? will wait for your answer ty...mike
