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? |

I installed a Racetronix 255LPH pump and hotwire kit back in 2010. I hope you don't need to contact them for support as they are not the friendliest folks for diagnosis. They'll just tell you to RTFM, including their installation docs and all the GM documentation on their website. Be careful putting the float arm back in if you're concerned about an accurate fuel level gauge. I've also intentionally chosen not to use the trap door because it's a street car.

Be careful putting the float arm back in if you're concerned about an accurate fuel level gauge. I've also intentionally chosen not to use the trap door because it's a street car. That's an understatement. They are a complete bag of dicks to deal with. I ordered something on black friday and about 30 minutes later I got an email with a black friday coupon code (unrelated to my order). I emailed them and said "I got the coupon at 8pm....after I placed the order....can I have you adjust the price to the sale price". They refused to do it. On top of that they weren't much help when I had support questions and referred me to their forum for answers. I've pretty much vowed to never buy anything from them ever again. The "question" I had was that my new fuel pump wouldn't work. So I got to install one in my 1991 Corvette a couple times. Ultimately, I received a wiring harness and pump that weren't wired the same (the pump was running backwards...no fuel pressure). It all came from Racetronix. They make nice stuff, but hope you never need to ask them anything about it. |
