ok, when i try to start my car it is so damn weird. for about 15 seconds it just tries to crank, then it will slowly start firing and keeps creeping up till i can hit the gas and stop turning the key. WTF??? plus it sounds like it's only running on one rotor when this happens then it the rpms will shoot up and it's perfectly normal after that. W T F !!!! just put brand new plugs in today, same ****. no vaccum leaks. could i be running too rich? does that have anything to do with it? i did a search and came up with nothing to this extent.

your timing... put it just advance... but not too advance... or hit dead center....

My car does that sometimes. I think that means it's getting flooded. We all need to have fuel cut-off switches.

It's flooding! Bet you'll see smoke coming out the exhaust when this happens as well.

now its running like ****

i think my floats may be stuck.. because my idle wont even adjust now..

talk to yo all later... im off to finish a keg with some friends

yes, it is totally flooding, but why??? i have a fuel cut off switch, should i just turn my fuel pump off before i park? hahahaha i have never checked my timing though and i have been wanting to advance it anyways. hmmmm. i hope nothing is majorly wrong. when she's running, she humms like she should.
