starting issues
'93 completely stock FD 75k miles (05/92 build)
Problem starting the engine if it's been sitting for more than a couple of hours. Starter sounds fine, doesn't sound like it's dying, but it's not "catching" until the second or third try (really embarassing in parking lots). I have a feeling it's either the fuel pump or the fuel sensor...any other suggestions? MazdaTrix said on the phone he thinks it could be the compression in the engine but uh -- would other symptoms would there be if *that* were the issue? Sounds expensive to fix. Last time I had a rotary compression issue was with my 1980 RX7 and I had to have the engine remanufactured...
