Alright when i get up in the morning and go out to my car to start it it takes a while. When i crank it over it doesnt want to start. I turn the key and start pumping the gas pedal and it will start and then die,start and die, start and die. Finally once i get it to stay started by reving around 3500 rpms for a min or 2 it will run fine. If i shut the car down after driving it for a while and then go back out to the car it will start right up. Any help would be apreciated. Oh and i just changed the spark plugs thinking that might be it but it wasnt.

Up and running. For now at least.

Is this the cranking over problem you had? Does the starter crank over fine, but the car just doesn't fire, or is the battery cable acting all wierd again? I say re-do those battery relocation connections (ditch the wing nuts) and see if it starts better if thats your problem. If its cranking over fine, but just doesn't fire when its cold its probably your IAC. Thats also probably why it idles like crap when its cold (surges up and down). Didn't you and Kris remove that or bypass it? When the IAC is working correctly it gives more air and fuel to the engine when its cold, which makes sense to why your car will start when you give it gas.

Or it could be the fact that I told her you were selling her this summer and she's PISSED! tongue.gif
