Having an issue with my Cutlass where it takes an excessive amount of cranks to start when cold. The vehicle is a 1982 Cutlass Supreme 4.4L (267 SBC). When the car is cold (I just mean not having ran for a day or a week, not freezing cold temps), it's really hard to start. It always does start, but it usually takes a lot of cranks, something like this:
- Turn ignition on
- Press gas pedal 2-3 times
- Crank engine 4-5 times
- Press gas pedal another 2-3 times
- Crank engine 4-5 times
- Press gas pedal another 2-3 times
- Crank engine 4-5 times, almost starts
- Press gas pedal another 2-3 times
- Crank engine 4-5 times, usually starts this time
