>Ok,i have been searching for an answer to why my truck is so hard to start. I have done everything i know to fix this but no luck yet . I have put a re-manufactured carburetor on it.I have checked all the vacuum lines,replaced the fuel pump. manual pump. I have a clear fuel filter that look good. I have done a tune up,plugs,wires,cap,pickup module,exc... I have even done a compression test that passes easily. The engine runs good, its just hard to start. Im stumped !
I've had a starter cause hard starting. Running too slow to get good starting compression.
My celebrity 2.8 was injected and a bad fuel pump caused long cranking.
But on my Lumina 3.1 it was the starter causing it.
It failed after a few weeks of hard starting/slow cranking.
