My car wont start right away. It will spin over pretty quick, and will backfire out the intake. After about 5 minutes of cranking it...it will start up and will drive with no driveability issues. The car was also throwing a hard light. I scanned it and replaced the knock sensor. I cleared the codes and that seems to be ok at this time. Any thoughts on this? Im about to check fuel pressure now. I also pulled the connector off the pcm and checked for corrosion. It looked very clean. I also performed the 'wiggle test' on the efi harness... heard stories about the harness breaking (right rear near the firewall)
thanks for any input

Dude - same symptoms as me - read my thread and see if it's the same "Hard Start - long with detailed symptoms".

I'll have to disconnect the intake to see if it's backfiring...

You don't need to disconnect the intake to hear it backfire... while cranking you'll hear it go boom.. If its not fixed by friday night, I'll just crank it all night long for the 4th of july Its pretty loud
