The car has always turned over except when I ran the battery down, it was in need of a new battery so I bought one.
The phrase "almost catch" means it fires here and there (like it had a carburator and it was flooded). No check engine lamps are on.
When all this first started I pulled the spark plugs and they were wet, so I sat them on the engine and then turned the ignition key and their was so much fuel in the cylinders that every time the piston hit top dead center the plug fired and their was a flame shooting out of each cylinder as if there were to much gas in the cylinders. So I assumed that the plugs and wires needed replaced (the electrodes were worn) because their was not enough spark to burn the fuel. Well it was cold this morning and the damn thing did not start!!!! I have come to the conclusion that when it is really cold out it will not start. Is their a fuel pressure regulator that would dump to much fuel into the engine when the engine is cold?
Maybe between the cold air and to much fuel it IS flooding out? Maybe that after it sets awhile and I get home from it starts because the temperature rises?
By the way it has never back fired through the intake or exhaust. Again could it be flooding out????????
