Well first of I would like to thank all of you for your help. I purchased my 
a Pearl V8 in September and with your help I have been able to do the 
following and I have never really worked on a car before. but I have changed 
the timing belt, battery, serpentine belt, starter, fuel pressure regualtor, 
new windshield washer fluid motor and lines and many other little things. I 
still need a muffler, And my side mirrors are going dark so I need to 
replace those too. Also I need some headlights if any of you have any. And I 
need the big bottom plastic piece that goes under the motor to protect it 
from corrosion.

But here is my problem. Well it started Saturday at the local ShopKo here in 
Ogden UT. When me and my wife went to leave it did not want to start it 
hesitated for a little bit and it then finally started. So I did not think 
to much of it but then it did it Yesterday too. But when I got it hope after 
I drove it through a drive through car wash and it did not want to start. it 
took about 10 minutes of trying to start (5 minutes cussing and the other 5 
praying) and it finally started. And even now when I start it it turns over 
a while before it starts. Any ideas? And Also my serpentine pulleys are no 
squelling. I need to replace them. But anything you guys can do to help is 
greatly appreciated. THANKS!
