[Shotimes] poor starting

[snapper@bellsouth.net]

The suggestion to let the fuel pump kick in first before cranking has cut my start time in half. I can live with a 2-3 second turnover for now.

thanks everyone for your help.

Its great owning a car with so much support behind it!

I have replaced the fuel filter and crank shaft position sensor. I looked at the archives and saw something about a barometer sensor? The info was confusing for the ATX. It does somethimes start right away ( 10 % of the time ).
