No real rhyme or reason as to when. Engine could be warm, could be cold.
It would sometimes happen in summer, and now that it is cold.
Occasionally, it has to turn over several seconds before firing.
Turn-over is strong. No fluids mixing (like oil and coolant)
Once it is started, it idles and runs fine.
Most times the car fires right up in a second or two, but lately it has a hell of a time.
As I have the 94 3.4 GTP with the stupid OBD 1.5 (that is what it is called?) I do have a check engine light but have not been able to pull codes.
This unpredicatable behavior doesn't seem to be linked to the CEL as it is always on, except when the battery disconnects and it takes a few days for the CEL to come on.
Plugs seem to be in ideal shape (brownish electrode, no damage, they are fairly new) No real smoke from tailpipe except the normal steam on real cold mornings.
Where to start?
