GA Hard to start

Hey guys,

I have replaced the Battery, and spark plugs already.
But she is having a hard time starting. Funny thing is that she starts better when cold. But @ about 6pm, you have to pump the pedal a few times to crank.(note: I some times have to pump the pedal in the morning too...but not as much as later in the day) Also i have a sticky TPS too if that tells you anything.


thanks

hard warm start can be a sign of bad compression. Do a compression check.

Also, year? model? miles? All would be good to know.

you have an s5. if you push the gas all the way to the floor, a switch is triggered to cut off fuel flow.

pumping a fuel injected vehicle isnt correct.
