Whether it's hot or cold 9 out of 10 times it takes a good 8 seconds and some gas peddle to get her started. Once she starts she grumbles a bit them smoothes out. She runs fine otherwise. She sat for 2 weeks at the body shop and she started right away when I picked her up. This morning she sat over night and was a bitch to get going... Ideas?   Rob Davison (Nosivad_bor) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Nosivad_bor Post Number: 1307 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, December 08, 2003 - 05:53 pm:    have someone spray a shot of starter fluid into the air intake on your first try on a cold day. see if it starts right up. could be a number of things but mine ALWAYS took 2 or three cranks until i got a new fuel pump. this was proven by "helping" the engine get fuel in the form of starter fluid. rd   Jason Michaels (H2eater) Member Username: H2eater Post Number: 217 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Monday, December 08, 2003 - 11:22 pm:    Thanks Rob, I will try that. I already replaced the fuel pump but it was with the Cadillac one... Think that could be it?   John Cinquegrana (Johnc) Senior Member Username: Johnc Post Number: 548 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Tuesday, December 09, 2003 - 08:01 am:    Jason, I replaced my fuel pump with the Caddy one but went back to the LR one cause it started to fail (2 years later). How's the fuel filter? Just a thought.

See a detailed discussion in Hard Start in the morning in the Disco Tech section.
