HARD starting, cant seem to find the source
Right before we found a blown head gasket...which has since been fixed, the car was starting hard, to the point I would have to pump the crap out of it to get it to fire. At first I thought it had to do with the idle air control, as I blocked off the hose I added to the TB intake to make it idle after the recent buildup. I adjusted the computer, and didnt need the helper tube/mod any longer. Well tonight, I removed the block on that and I still have the same problem. Any body have any ideas as to what it could be? It was professionally tuned at Detroit Speedworks, and everything was fine. Now 3 months later it suddenly is being a pain in the ***. I just dont get it. Ideas please.

Mine used to take 2 tries to start, I took the TB off today cleaned it up real good and installed a new IAC and TPS and since I was in there I went ahead and did the TB coolant bypass. Starts up first try everytime now.
