this has got to be the most finicky car that was ever put on the market, it has bad days and good days, when the car is having a great day it will let you know, in boosting you into the next zip code, then the very next day the boost is messed up.
the older cars were great for quick tune on the carb, jump in and floor it. let the torque slam you in the seat. now this car is one highly tuned machine, as it sits the car will achieve great gas mileage (manuals) or tuned out the car will boost your from 65 to 105 in 4 seconds. the neck snapping torque the older cars gave will always have an advantage, them being v8`s pulling 300-400 horses under the hood.
but with bigger injectors in the 4 and tuned out the 900t will put up a fight. off the line vs a v8 im sure the 8 will get the jump and will only have it untill the cars reach about 25-40 mph where then the 900t will go blowing past the 8 like someone strapped a rocket to the hood.
it all starts with... what you want the car for. but for now
starting with your hard start,
after driving the car park it and turn it off. pop the hood and look for and the smell of gas.
the fuel rail that sits atop of the fuel injector is pressurized, when shutting the car off the pressure will be escaping leaving the car with a hard start to re-pump the gas to the rail.
look around the injectors for wet gas when the car is turned off after it was running.
there is a gasket that sits in-between injector and rail, one of the injectors gasket may be trashed.
heck not to mention the spark plugs, if they are way old it also will cause a hard start, (not even being related to fuel)
give the motor a full tune up. to at lest get a bearing on where to look next.
(dis.cap, rotor, air filter, ngk spark plugs, new bio-gaurd spark plug wires, new or clean out the a.i.c., pull the vacuum line off the fuel regulator and suck on it, see if it holds vacuum. if it dose not it faulty and needs to be replaced, with the motor running try to wiggle the fuel rail, see if gas expelled if it dose get new injector seals, new fuel filter, replace all vacuum lines, pull the vacuum line off the hooter valve and suck on it, see if it holds vacuum. if it dose not ifs faulty and needs to be replaced,..... this would be a good start.
