Thread: Hard starting after sitting for days.

Since I put on my IC I have to turn over the car several times before it will start. Except for that everything is perfect. It only happens when it sits for a few days. Any ideas why?

Maybe a vacuum leak?

I too was going to say vacuum leak....

Only after sitting more than 2 days and no trace of it except at startup?

Vaccuum leak or by any chance have you checked your fuel pressure?

Haven't checked the fuel pressure. Think it may be leaking down after sitting? I was thinking about putting a gauge on the new ZZP fuel rails.

Could be.. I know if my GP is sitting for a few days it takes a few cranks to get it started.

Mine sat for a week and a half. Started perfectly fine

Congrats?

Mind sits for two days it doesn't start on first time, usually on the second. This time it sat for 12 days and took several tries to get it going. This action started after I put the I/C on with the 3.4 pulley.

I wouldn't necessarily say it's the IC causing the issue could just be a coincidence..

Possibly, there was a lot done when the I/C when on, fuel rail, etc.
