[Shotimes] Random Hard to start issue "flooded"

[clubairth@bellsouth.net]

Lee:
 No but when I read this I got suspicious!

" Car: 94 MTX; brand new factory crate engine, original: injectors, fuel 
pump,O2's (100k)".

 The factory pumps are not that great when new and now yours is 12 years and 
100K miles old. After 100K miles on a fuel pump I consider replacing it as 
just normal maintenance.
