Takes car a while to fire up...??

[SHO SPD]

When I start my 93 ATX it turns over a good 5 times at least before it fires up..is this plugs/wires, or battery??

Please help

Probably neither. It's probably the fuel pump or the CAM sensor.

I'm betting on the Cam Position Sensor. The computer doesn't know where the engine is in it's firing order to start if it doesn't work. It takes a few rotations for it to figure it out with the Crankshaft Position Sensor alone. Easy fix, even easier if your hands are really small.

Don't count out the fuel pump or pressure regulator. My 95' did the same - turned out to be both were bad.

Matt,
I don't know of any starting issue. I have never had a problem. What's wrong with the rear door? Perhaps you know something that I didn't.

Thanks for sending the keys......... How stupid I feel........

i have a 95 sho that has trouble starting, the door ajar light is on, AND there is something wrong with the good old ATX.

dont sweat it cause shit happens then ya die. not to mention that the CAM position sensor is easy (unless you let 94ShoATX try it squint )

MATT:
Blue's car does the same thing. He got a new CAM sensor and we just waiting to put in on.. Shouldnt be that bad of a problem if that is the problem..We will let you know soon if thats the problem..Hid door ajar light is also on..And one of his doors is messed up!!Must be the damn Blue SHO'S

 

[SHO SPD]

Thanks for the replys, I am going to burn the gas out, and fill it up with fresh gas, its old gas, so that could also be the problem... let me know what happens with the CPS

My '95 does the same thing that is described above. If it fixes your problem just let me know, I'll change the CPS on mine too. Thanks.
