>>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!
