Sorry Pappy without more info the only thing I might suggest is new plugs & wires. Time to do some testing to see what ails the old girl. I don't know squat about crossfires but have heard the throttle bodies can get out of adjustment and cause problems. Good luck!

come on you certain fugs,,dont gimme cheeyut when a dude asks fer help ya pricks..to you other fellas thanks

my issue wid it ,,is hard start cold er warm ifn has sat a bit..like loose fuel pressure..yet once runnin she fine..my stupid haynes ony describes pressure nawt wud holds it..like a pressure reg..or is the fuel pump posed to hold the pressure once engine is off,,if this is true ,,then my pump is junque..thats ok ill figure it out ,,jus thought sum bruthas would help out snot!!! wahahaha still have me humor....fuggan grumpy yea mabee its early,,jus sick of cheeyut from snots sum times..cc wud the fug one day yer helpfull next ya jump on the fug him band wagon..any a yous tell me in person got the balls..again thanks other cats preciate it..sarry to rest i kinda thought we were friendlys here

Pappy, do you have the factory service manual for your car? If so check on the reason of losing fuel pressure. If not try Google, it might be able to come up with something for you. It does sound like pressure is going away but I have never had any experience with that so I'm not much help am I.
As for the shit dealers, it does seem like more & more of it is happening here, I was hoping those attitudes would stay with the Corvette Forum. You are who you are, no need to defend that and it really shouldn't be a factor here anyway.

pappy, you know people either love ya, hate ya or just don't care one way or the other. Your buds will chime in eventually.
