Starting Issues??

Just revived the car after a long Winter and and many suspension upgrades. After not runiing for several months the car started right up. Now after running for a couple weeks it is starting very rough, but after it is warm there is no problem. Changed the plugs and filled the tank up with new gas and the problem persists.

I used to be able to just turn the key without giving it any gas, but now I have to slightly pump and she is still rough for a few minutes. Where should I start? Injector cleaner? Wires (they are the original ones)? Just concerned it will get progressively worse?

Sounds like bad gas. You can either drain the tank, or just run what you have left and fill it up with a fresh tank.

You may want to change out your fuel filter regardless.

I would run some injector cleaner thru it. The old gas may have left deposits/ film on your injectors.

I already filled up the tank with fresh gas (on top of 1/2 tank of the old gas?) but will try the injector cleaner.

Vance, If you have a half of tank of bad gas + half tank of good gas you will probably have the problem continue. You should drain the old gas, fill with new gas and injector cleaner.
