Car Had Hard Time Starting This Morning
Sunday, February 25, 2007 6:07 PM
This morning my car had trouble starting. When the starter was turning over the car struggle to start....it was firing but not quite starting (almost like it was flooding). When I turned the key the car immediately fired but not quite to the point where it would start. Finally after about 5 seconds the car fired up, once the car was started it ran fine, it was just that initial morning start. A couple of seconds after the car started I turned the car off and started it again, it did the same thing.....fired but did not quite start for about five seconds. After driving the car for about 30 minutes I turned the car off and re-started the car....it started right up like it normally did before this morning's start-up. I was think I have a leaky fuel injector but I could be wrong. Could anyone give me some advice on this problem? The car is a 1996 Pontiac Sunfire with a 2.2L. Thanks in advance for your help.

Did it throw a code for you? My '96 2.2 had a fit about a month ago. Some problem with the camshaft sensor not working for some odd reason. Just would not start to save it's life. Lotta cranking, lotta teasing the throttle and he finally fired up. Nevermind he doesn't like to start as quick as usual when damp out, this was way different. Musta been a freak glitch, 'cause no evidence whatsoever of anything chronic since then.
