another no wanna start
Seems to be a rash of these, might be a sign of winter coming on.
Anyway, my 87 4ks 1.8lt 4 cyl. does not like to start anymore.
It starts a little better when the engine is warm, but it is still
anything but easy. It is always a question as to whats going to
happen first, car start or battery die. When the car finally fires,
it only needs to fire once, it starts and runs perfectly.
The facts-
Replaced the fuel pump yesterday - no help (quieter but not better)
injectors- all spray a nice cone- put on new seals
cold start injector- works fine
removed the filter in the banjo bolt- was plugged, thought this was
the problem, but alas didn't help
new distributor cap and rotor, new plugs (spark as the engine is
turned)
can't find any vacumn leaks
HELP- whats next, or what should I recheck.
