  • wierd startup problem:S

    ok guys,
    a little problem poped up a few weeks ago and i can't work it out.
    anytime the car has been sitting around for 2-3 hours after driving it, it doesn't start until about 6 cranks. doesn't even hint firing until the 5/6 go.
    BUT.... it will start as normal, at 1 hour and 4-5 hours after driving it.
    the starter has been refurbed, so i was thinking its the dizzy but it's as if there is no power what so over:S
    car is 16v k-jet
    any help would be great!!

    thanks
    dave

    wonder if it is your fuel pump or filter...

      Both pumps and filter have been changed.
      When I eventually get it started I can smell fuel out of the exhaust. So fuel is getting in, just no spark
      But when it running it's perfect
