Starting problems
For about the last month and a half, I have been having intermittent starting problems. Sometimes, when the car is cold, I can crank the car but it won't turn over. It's not a problem with the starter - it cranks fine.
I've found that the only solution to the problem is to take off the air filter and manually push the float up a few times. After that, the car will generally start roughly, but after a few seconds will run just fine. Once the car is running, it will continue running and idling just fine. Lately, I've also been having trouble starting the car when it's warm. If I drive the car for an hour, leave it sit for 10 minutes, and try to start it, I have the same problem.
Any ideas? I don't think it's a fuel or ignition problem, since the car runs fine once it's started. Also, it's an intermittent problem - most of the time, the car starts fine cold, but sometimes I have problems. I'm thinking something in the CIS is bad (or going bad).
Thanks.
