OK I’m new to this so please bear with me. I’ve scanned the 2nd Gen forum and have seen a lot of posts concerning starting/flooding problems but couldn’t find any with the same symptoms.

The car starts and runs fine in any temperature, if it has been sitting for less than an hour or longer than about 4 hours. I can turn off the car without it heating up completely and it will start back up fine. So this doesn’t fit the typical “can’t start” problem. If the car sits for about and hour and a half to about three hours then I have starting problems. The engine cranks/turns over fine but just won’t start. Occasionally I can get it to start by flooring the accelerator, occasionally I can get it to start by pumping the hell out of it, most of the time it just won’t start at all. If I go back to it after about four hours it starts right up.

It’s a rebuilt with about 50K on it, compression was great last time checked. New plugs/wires don’t seem to make a difference.

Any words of wisdom from anyone?
