Still Starting Badly
 

well, my alero, from sitting several hours, will not start, like, putt fart die, its just horrible starting.

if i go and start it even when its lukewarm, it starts fine. but it WILL NOT START if its cold.

now when its cold, and it has over a half a tank of gas, and i hold the accelerator down a tiny bit, it starts right up and runs fine.....

WTF!?!?

have you tried driving it off a cliff?

Need a fuel pump?

fixed.... i had 12PSI before, now i have 41 with a new pump/tank

How in the hell did you change the fuel pump in the tank in an hour?

this is his 37th thread on this topic so he must have addressed that previously.

NEW info. when i started the car, (took 15 tries today) i removed the coolant cap, smoke came out.

Sounds like you need full coverage insurance.

Hang out Saturday night about 2am outside a popular bar. Get hit by a drunk.

Buy a nicer car.

seriously tho man .. it may be time to move on....

ive owned it for three months.... eff off and die...... I LIKE THE CAR!!!!! GET OVER IT!! HELP NOT BASH PLZ OR DONT POST

When was the last time you changed your coolant and thermo? I'm about to do mine this Saturday, lol.

hes changed his like...4 times now.

so you have smoke coming out of your coolant reservoir?.... nate..wtf did you do to your engine?? i can't even begin to come up with a suggestion

I vote compression test. Smoke in the coolant, sounds like a story from the Crypt Keeper.

have you cleaned yout TB lately? also, you could have a bad head gasket? when its cold, its allowing coolant to pool in your cylinders and when its hot, it doesn't have enough time to leak? maybe?

bad/blown head gasket
