[Shotimes] engine problem, please help with diagnosis

[Justin Schick]

Are you giving yourself a couple second delay between moving the key
from ON to START, so the fuel pump can pressurize the system? I wait for
the low coolant light to go out before starting my 92, seems to coincide
with the pump's pump-up time.

Anyway, I would start by checking the fuel pressure. How old is the
fuel filter?
