| New Problem - Hard Starting LT4 |
Subject: New Problem - Hard Starting LT4 by Andrew on 2012/3/5 21:01:46 Now that the high rpm oil pressure problem has been corrected, the car has developed a hard start issue, which it never had in the past. Anytime I disconnect the battery, it takes a while for the car to figure out how to idle. So, in the beginning, I thought this was this issue and it would go away. The car is idling, almost like normal, and the car is still hard to start, especially when warm. Once running, no problems at all. When cool, the car starts easier. When warm, I have to crank the motor way too much. It smells really rich until it starts running. When cranking, I hear that nice "woofing" sound as if timing is off. Installing the oil pan, I had to remove the O2 censor, crank the motor backwards to check for clearances, and disconnect the battery for a few day. Everything else that was done would have no effect on how the car is running or starting. I checked the O2 censor and connections, all looks good there. GRRRR, this car is moving to my bad list!! |
