does anybody know what the problem may be? i have to turn it over 3 or 4 times before it starts up…it cranks strong just seems like it is not getting air and fuel…but once it starts up it runs fine…anybody have the same problem? and it’s not showing any codes on the panel either?  
thanks for any help…

it rises to 40 psi…the funny thing is…it will start, then you turn it off and try again, it will not start just crank…then turn it off and try again and it will fire again?

If that fixes the problem then I’m really impressed by the diagnosis, especially without even seeing the car!

i’d love to do that, but I want a carb. I hate dealing with computers. I like being able to fix everything on my truck with 3 wrenches(7/16, 1/2, 9/16) and a screwdriver. 😃

I hated trying to solve problems with my sho, trying to figure out which sensor controlled what and what else it affected. :mad: I hate computers.

Find me an old school 350 with a carb and a tranny, and i’ll bring it down to fab up some motor/tranny mounts. :D:D:D
