After the car has been sittin for a while. LIke over night...12 hours. It takes a long time for it to start up...maybe like 10 seconds. I'm pretty sure it's not flodded because when it does start, there is no excessive amounts of smoke, but it wants to die, it usually dies once then i turn it back on and all is well again. Its like nothin ever happened. Any ideas? thanks

Are your 6 ports wired open. I know when I have my ports wired open it is hard to start. That is to say you have a N/A. What kinda mods do you have?

same thing with me...i've heard the bac can do this when its going out...i checked mine by unpluggin it while running and the idle went down..so that means its ok (or so they tell me) so im not sure either...

 

I THINK MY BAC IS GOIN OUT AND I HAVE MY SECONDARIES WIRED! my car is hard as **** to start . i have a rebuilt engine 4k old and i still have to use my fuel cut off switch!
pisses me off

 

i swear itll take forever to make my car start ! that shizz suckz

 

have the same problem with my car now ever since i did the 5-speed swap, i didn't run it for about 3 weeks (doing the swap) and when it came time to start it, it was flooded like a bitch, ever since then it takes about 8 sec to start (use to just tap the starter and it would crank up) and now i also don't have the 3k start up anymore can't figure out that one either

yeah.... hmm sounds like we all have our hands full. Today i'm going to change the fuel filter. And take alook at the BAC valve. I've heard you can take it out. Clean it up with brake cleaner, or Gas.....and then use some stuff on the gasket to make it new again. So you dont have to get another....Or you can just make a ghetto gasket out of file folder material :P

 

have you checked it? unplug the connector and see if the rpms drop

 

i know it's screwed, last time i had A/c the rpms would drop when i turned on the A/C

 

Change your fuel filter and get your injectors cleaned. It *should* solve the flooding.

 

anymore ideas for why the cars are takin so long to start?

 

flooding (injectors not clean) bac going out...thats all i can think of
