91 turbo

cranks over and starts when cold...

need to stay on the throttle for a bit and warm her up or else she dies..

very difficult to crank and start her up when hot...

ignition coils .. ? tell tale sign of weak motor.. ?

she has new plugs..wires...fuel filter... battery

ran redline s1 every fillup since purchase for some inj cleansing..

would like to resolve this issue prior to perf mods..

having to keep your foot on the throttle after starting is normally a vacum leak.

its a vacuum leak, even the slightest little one will make it not want to hot restart

I just made this nice little thing to help me look for vacuum leaks its so nice not having to fully inspect the lines by hand one at a time. Plus im getting a mechainc stephoscope in the next few weeks.
