engine cranking longer. . . fuel pressure?
sound like a fuel pressure problem? runs fine when started, but it's been taking longer to start. it doesn't try to start, it just cranks about 7 times then fires right up. i was thinking maybe the fuel pressure is bleeding off somewhere. i can sometimes smell fuel right after startup. . . . anyway, just thought i'd toss this out there. .

i have the same prob, sometimes it starts right up (when it does it has been run recently), but most of the time i have to crank a while...my filter only has about 5k on it, i had to set my alarm to crank for like 1.2 sec (the 3rd or 4th setting down the line, default .6) cause it takes so darn long, but it has always been that way (since last summer) my friend jokes that its cause my car is old, he's prolly right

i'll check the fuel pressure at teh shop this weekend. . . i was thinking it was bleeding off pressure because on occasion right after startup i can smell fuel. also, when it's warm, like just after i've driving it, it takes a crank and a half. . . i'll also replace the fuel filter again. .. .as far as the coils, they'll be done in july when i get my nice check. thanks for all your help guys. i just wasn't sure if any other VE's were having the same problem.

Fuel filter should definitley be replaced. Also for VE guys, dont forget about your ignition system. If the coils are old they should be replaced (more than 80 or 100k).

i was thinking about blocking the IAC. . . my buddies with hondas do it and the revs fall down faster. you have to set the idle with a set screw. i'm not even sure if our cars have one lol. but i'll look into that. . . . maybe even clean something
