starting problem. need help
my car lately has been having a hard time starting. i sounds like it wants to start but then it doesnt and then all it does is turn over. no matter what i do it wont start unless i roll start it. sometimes it is ok after i drive it and let it idle for a few seconds and then go back to start it but it doesnt do that all the time. could this be my injectors going bad/ dumping xtra fuel into the engine?
Any help would be great.

check ur spark plugs. and check for vaccum leaks (any hose that are just lose or dangling.)
and it might be ur injectors if u search the forums itll tell u how to test them its pretty easy.
ive had my t2 for about 1 yr and starting issues on this forum are all over the place it just take up alot of time. when my car doesnt start sometimes i pull the egi fuse and crank it for about 5 secs put the egi fuse back in and crank it should start thats only if ur flooding if ur leaking

Sounds like it's badly flooded.
Pull the 30A EGI fuse from the fuse box under the hood, crank the engine for 10-15 seconds with the throttle wide open. Do this 2 or 3 times. Put the EGI fuse back in and see what happens.
If that didn't work, do the same thing, but also pull the spark plugs this time and re-do the cranking steps. If it's really badly flooded, you'll see a mist of raw fuel wafting up from the engine bay (no open flames!!). Inject/pour a small amount of motor oil into each housing through the spark plug holes before you try to start. It will probably smoke like crazy for a few minutes from the extra motor oil.
The cause of flooding could definitely be leaky injectors. I recommend removing them and sending them out to have them cleaned and flow-tested. I had mine done at WitchHunter Performance. Highly recommended.
