I have problem every morning trying to start the carm especially when its cold. I have to crank the engine over for a few seconds then wait for the fuel pump to prime again, and again so i crank over a few more times till the engine starts.
Any one know why this might be happening?
I heard it might be a sticking FPR?

Check your plugs; make sure the gap is good and they are clean... Make sure the coilpack harness ground is good. Could be a spark problem.

I doubt it's your FPR if it's stock; they are very reliable... and seeing as how they have fuel passing thru them, they won't really goop up & stick. If anything fuel, I'd say the pump is more likely to be the culprit; or the filter if the sock happened to fall off in the tank.

Spark plugs I just replaced over a year ago, I would have to check that tomorrow. Fuel pump is good, filter too cause I just put new O-ring tank seal a few weeks ago so that check out good.
But yeah I will have to check my s.plugs tomorrow!
