Hello, first off, I have a 1994 TA, Lt1, auto trans, stock other than exhaust and cai. Most days, lately, it has been extremely difficult to start. It will always sputter while turning over and even backfire LOUDLY once in a while. Cranking it over for 8 sec than about a min rest will sometimes take 5 min to start, sometimes it could take an hour!!! (Giving the starter cool down time also).
Once it starts, it stumbles for about 5 sec then clears up. Runs and drives as it should! It used to do it occasionally on cold starts but has recently started doing it on all starts.
43 psi fuel pressure w/key on, 46 while cranking. No leak down or injector leak. Temp sensor reads 3.1 ohms at 70 degrees w/ meter set at 200k ohm setting.
Also, the other day at the car wash, it just died once the underbody wash started in the front. I took quite a while to get it started and burned up a starter!
What can I do? Is it a cap and rotor? Is that any tests to help diagnose? PLZ HELP!!
WIDE OPEN TILL YOU SEE GOD, THEN HIT THE BLINKER AND PASS HIM!
