    Hey just about an hour ago i was leavin my dads house and my car wouldnt catch ignition after a few tries. I never had this problem before. I just got my new 3.4" set up about 2 weeks ago so im not sure if this is something that i should expect every here and there (my car not catchin ignition off the first 2 tries). My plugs are brand new but the ignition wires are stock and so are the coil packs. I never thought those could be a problem as far as ignition went, but am i wrong? Also i don't need bigger fuel injectors with just a 3.4" set up do i ? Or is this something that just happens every here and there with more boost involved ? Thanks my select few

    are you priming the fuel system before start up.

    maybe your fuel pressure is low at start up and cant get the fuel in there right away.

    check for spark first. if your cps is going bad that may happen. second check fuel pressure at KOEO you should see 45-52 IIRC.

    flip key back and forth a few times before turning the engine over ... prime it up good and see if it starts on the first try

    check the cheapest things first... get ur fuel pressure tested and go from there.... im guessing its a fuel delivery issue.
