Car: 94 GT Manual 300K miles

Situation: When starting the car with the engine warm, the engine will turn over and over and over without starting. If I give the car a little gas while turning over, the car will start up, and then have a rough idle for a few seconds and be fine.

The odd thing is, if I start the car using this method, turn it off, then try and start the car again immediately it will start up with no issues. If I end up leaving the car for 15-30 minutes (I've timed it) then it doesn't want to start. I don't even know where to begin with this one.... Any suggestions?

Get your battery checked and make sure your terminals aren't corroded.


The terminals and battery are fine. The thing is that the car turns over and will keep going until I press the gas pedal... then it starts up with a crappy idle.

you getting fuel into the engine when it won't restart?


In all honesty, based on my limited knowledge, I would imagine it to be something fuel related seeing as when I press the pedal it starts... but I don't know. I didn't think that pressing the pedal on newer cars made a difference when the car was off. confused.gif

do you have any codes?
btw, not every code lights the CEL


I have no clue... every single time I have tried to pull the codes using the paperclip trick, the CEL comes on and stays on. No flashing whatsoever... Maybe I am doing it wrong.
