Hi Folks
Got an 87 RRC 3.5efi and it used to start with no problems even with a naff battery. it died eventualy
i put a new battery on and it seemed ok
i went to do an RTV trial with it and it was fine
The next day it took ages to start, it is firing but just wont keep going if you are persistant on the starter motor then you can get it going but runns Very lumpy if you get the revs up to 2000 for 20 seconds or so then its ok, but it could stall at any moment and you have to go through the whole procces again.
other thing i noticed is when it is starting up it smells very rich.
one last thing if i disconect the battery and leave it, come back reconect the battery it starts first time but still smells rich
Any ideas ???

Look at the air pipes from the air flow meter, they need to be in good nik, Try the ECU as well,  just my thoughts on it 8)

the cold start Injector sits on the left of the plenum chamber you can try it by takeing off the wires to it, they just pull off.
