ok just put my sr back in my s14 after rebuild and for one it takes a long time to start up and then i finally fires a couple times then comes to life. then the car sputters really bad and then once the rps get above about 2k its fine. ALL COUPLERS HAVE BEEN CHECKED! spark plugs smell like gas and are really black. also im not sure if this correlates with anything but the starter just recently went out so maybe that would have to do with the long start up time! car idle's low like 600 and sputter horribly upon take off. gas in tank is from October so i feel lake maybe that could be an issue. any suggestions are much appreciated

Drain and refill with fresh gas. then try again. Also check vacuum hoses as well.

The life span of e10 which is what most gas is now has a life span of 3 months. Also check your timing after its filled with new gas
