Hey Louie... I'm slow responding, what else is new.. good talking to you the other day, let me know what you find with that problem we were talking about, I'm curious what the fix was.

Hi Checking from New York
 
Jack, changed the crank sensor like we discussed. Also have changed the coil pack, MAF, and installed a new interuptor and cam sensor. The car still hard starting when it wants, sometimes it starts and other times just cranks, the car has 45 psi at the fuel rail with the switch on and 38 with the car running.

Hi Checking in from New York
 
Jack, the fuel regulator might be the problem, Buddy dropped off at local shop and been there a week, and they still have not figured it out

Hi, checking in from New York
 
Hi Chris, sounds like you might have leaky injector or two, check oil for signs of fuel

Hey, Jack Found out that the coolant temperture sensor was reading hot while scanning the ECU. Replaced the ECU and all readings were within specs. The car now would start everytime but shut off while going down the road on occassion, turned out to be the ignition switch being worn and causing the chip in the key to lose contact, problem corrected.
