In the last week or so, it cranks for 2-3 seconds before starting whereas it used to start immediately. I installed a new starter 6 months ago as you all may recall. I also installed a K&N fuel filter 10 month ago. No issues until last week.
Research online and on FRRAX is pointing to a fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator. Or the battery. Or the spark plugs. Car runs super fine once started and starts right up once it has been running. If it sits 6+ hours, it'll revert to needing extra time. Suggestions? |

Do you get any stumble on WOT runs in the upper RPM? Mine was doing that plus the slow start like you mentioned. I did a walbro 255 with racetronix kit and trap door method and it was fairly easy and economical compared to OEM and dropping the tank.
In the mean time, you can turn the key to on for a couple seconds and then crank it, that should help it start quicker. |

Also, the last two days (3 starts in all) it fired right up. So, this is the Racetronix part? https://www.texas-speed.com/p-2361-racetron...p-assembly.aspx Will I still need to get the Wallbro 255 separately or will the Racetronix do it all? I plan on keeping the motor stock. This post has been edited by Honda93: Sep 5 2017, 02:36 AM |

I plan on keeping the motor stock. That looks like everything you need, I got mine at ws6store though, as long as it's not just the regulator like mentioned above. Mine was going bad for a long time, which is why I probably got the missing and it wasn't severe, just felt like a slight miss close to 6k like it needed a tune up or something. |
