hard starting

RoushRacing99 · April 24th, 2011, 06:54 PM

car is really hard starting sometimes but not always

sometimes to get it to start and stay running, you have to hammer down the throttle til it revs up while cranking it then slowly let out til it keeps itself running

theres one dtc in it and it's for the egr...other than that it's gotten to be a pretty good car

does anybody have any clues as to what may be the starting problem?

Have you cleaned out your IAC lately? It could be stuck. Use some carb/throttle body cleaner and be careful with the valve inside, move it lightly with something small to see if its stuck shut.

I honestly overlooked that thinking it would have to be something bigger...I will see.

thanks
