My sister has a 89 coupe with a ka24e with high miles. The problem its having is that in the morning it takes about one full 3 to 4 second crank before it will start. Some times I don’t feel like forcing it so I will try to start it for about a second and stop and wait 10 seconds to not damage the starter, then I go to start it up again and its starts right away. I always step on the gas to help it from bogging out. Some time once I have been driving it around it will even rev up to like 2k RPM (happens not that often) and I have to give it some gas to make it come back down to 750 RPM. The motor light just recently started coming on and off for periods at a time ( but it would do this before the engine light ever came on). As the motor reaches normal operating temperature, the faster it will start. I have changed the distributor rotor (not the cap), changed the spark plug. I don’t hear a noise when I turn my ignition on from the fuel pump. There is a small leak of gas from the one of the seals on one injector but only of I move it side to side. I cleaned the MAF. I even have 8g. Copper wire from the block and intake manifold to the fire wall. Any help is highly appreciated.

always start with what you KNOW is wrong. especially an injector/o-ring leak.

then go from there. once you fix everything you know is wrong, if you still have a problem, try a coolant temp sensor ($16)
