Hi,
So, for the past couple months, every morning when I would fire up the Vette, I'd have to crank it for a good 15s before it'd start. I would usually break the crank attempts up into like 10 1.5 to 2 second attempts before it would fire up.
After that, entire rest of the...starting would be fine. It would fire within like 1 second for the rest of the day.
Following morning, problem would return.
After reading lots of posts and stuff, I figured out what my issue was and thought it may be helpful to others. It was my Intake Air Temp sensor. It is located on the bottom of the inlet plenum a few inches ahead of the distributor. It is like right next to the fuel pressure regulator.
Anyhow, I unplugged it and fired the car up. It started immediately. Granted, it is like 60 degrees out...but still. I am confident the problem is isolated. I will likely look into buying one of those remote relocation kits for the sensor.
Cheers,
Chris
