[QUOTE="swanny71, post: 438628, member: 19931"] You mentioned you have a TBI. Wouldn’t happen to be Howell? I have a 4.2L with Howell. I get a similar condition every so often, 1 in 20 starts perhaps. After 5 seconds of grinding and no-start, I floor the pedal (while still cranking) and it starts within another 5 seconds reliably. The Howell computer (really a 1987 GM) is programmed to recognize when the pedal is floored and to stop feeding gas into the TBI. So maybe it’s flooding. Might give it a try. [/QUOTE]
