Hi,
My almost bone stock(except cold air intake) 95' up until 2 weeks ago, would alway start right up without pumping the throttle when cold. I changed the
fuel filter, checked the plugs, air filter and today changed the Idle Air Control valve, which was definitely bad once my mechanic pulled it apart. No apparent vacuum leaks. But the problem persists....seems something has changed on it in the last couple weeks....any idea on this?

THanks!
Mike

 

Could be IAC related. Maybe pull it off and clean it out really well and ensure that it's working.

 

Check the fuel pressure for rapid loss of pressure after the pump's initial prime. That will extend cranking time.

"Pumping" the accel pedal does nothing, except let more air in. Maybe that's an indication the injectors are leaking and flodding the engine. Next time, before you turn the key, put the pedal on the floor and hold it there. That puts the PCM in "clear flood" mode. If it starts faster with the pedal on the floor, it will tell you if flooding is the problem.
