Starting Issue

[screaminsho]

This has been an issue for a while. My car has intermittant starting problems, excessive carnking (sometimes), turn key back, forward, fires right up, starts without problem the first start of the day. I searched the forums and few matches but never a resolution. come on someone must know how to solve this.

Does your tach work properly all the time?

 

[screaminsho]

Yes, Everything works and runs awesome, just this little starting issue. 95 ATX 85,000 miles

It sounds like the fuel return line check valve.
It's not keeping fuel in after you shut off your car hence the long cranking time (The pump has to repressurize the system). Just turn the key but don't start the engine just yet. Let the pump spin a bit then start the car.
A new fuel pump will take care of the problem. Is yours noisy?

No, I have to bend down and put my ear to the gas cap to hear the pump running.

Try flooring the gas pedal and cranking when it doesn't want to start.
