Fixed a long start problem

Post by strongt3310 »

I had a longer then normal starting issue (it would take a few seconds of cranking to get the engine to catch). I pulled the Vac line off the FPR and there was no fuel in the line. But there was a faint gas smell but other wise dry. I replaced it with a BWD unit Part # 24027P from O'Reilly's for $50.00. After the install the engine starts instantly and has better throttle response then it did before I replaced it. I also went and replaced the fuel filter also with a Wix filter.

Good to know, might try this soon. Car cranks over longer sometimes, especially when not quite warm.
