Hard start problems

I would try cleaning the fuel injectors with some Techron (or similar
cleaner).  I would run a couple tank-fuls through.  This fixed my 80q that
would only run on 3 (of 5) cylinders if I let it sit for more than 24 hours.
After 10 minutes of driving all 5 cylinders would come back....but after a
LOT of fuel injector cleaner the problem has been corrected!!!  The car can
sit for weeks now without any problem!!!

Worked for me....Good Luck!!!
