Hard Starting

I have a 87 GX that's very hard to start. I almost always have to use the fuel cutoff switch to get it started. Is it a problem with leaking fuel injectors and if so whats the fix.

Thanks

Hot start or cold or both?

Could be tons of things like tuneup or intake leak or could be leaking injectors or the mix screw is misadjusted.

how does it run after you start it

The car is hard to start all the time hot or cold. Only time it starts easily is just after I shut it off and restart right away . After car is started it runs fine.

Thanks

sounds like a ton of things could be wrong. Sounds lmostly like it might be flooding. Check intake leaks and plugs as well.
