hunter85 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Sometimes on a cold start my car will not start and I will have to crank a couple of times. It will try to start and then sound like an explosion and then I turn the key again sometimes it starts sometimes it does the noise again it does always start just freaks me out and sounds bad. Does this sound like a starter going bad the battery is new, isc is new, tps is new all in spec, injector clips also in spec ,as well injectors were also flowed and new walboro pump. pre pump filter ect. My next guess is the starter but it starts well and doesnt bog down any suggestions would be great thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucw458 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Check your ignition timing. I bet it's too far advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott87star Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 One CDI box I had would light things off at odd times, an AEM twinfire. I think just because it was a hot enough spark to fire an uncompressed mix. But yes, check ignition timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter85 Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 Where is the timing advance wire I have to disconnect when I do the timing thanks also what color is it please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) There's no such wire. But if you are checking timing above 3,900 feet in altitude you ground the wire in the round test plug next to the aircan. There's 2 wires in that plug. You just connect them together to ground it.

hunter85 Posted September 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I got my timing in spec I believe, it is 6 degrees btdc seem to idle the best there it is still giving me the problem though not as bad. Any other suggestions for me please and thank you... Side note I took out all emissions and most of the vaccum I kept only what I needed and capped the rest would that have something to do with a hard start because it runs like a champ after started no hiccups or fuel cut in high rpms even its just funny to me I guess thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
