[Shotimes] lost MPG due to fuel pump?

[Bill Murray]

I've noticed the same thing with all 3 of my SHO and all my friends SHOs
also.  If the fuel does shut off, why does it start with it floored?  My
car doesn't stall on its own, it's only if I didn't hold the key down
long enough.

My '93 will sometimes stall at initial startup.  If I don't floor it, I
will
be cranking till the cows come home.  Floor it and it starts just fine.
For whatever reason.
