Recently I have had an intermittent starting problem. I crank the motor but it just cranks. I turn off key and then as I crank the motor, I pump the gas peddle and it will start and run rough for a few minutes.
I have had a similar starting issue but it was when I "short started the motor" as I call it. That is, I crank to the point that it normally starts but stop cranking before motor starts, I then have to pump the accelerator peddle to get it to start just like its doing now.
Not sure what is happening when you have to pump the gas peddle to get it to start? Could it be not getting fuel or flooding or other issue?
Most of the time after about 3 sometimes 4 pops of the motor (sounds like a cylinder compresses then valves open like when you are testing compression) the motor normally starts.
New plugs, fuel pump has about 150,000 +/- on it, fuel filter maybe the same miles as fuel pump. 95,000 mi on O2's but get intermittent 25 and or 26 CEL but I get both intermittent for years.
