Hi fellas.
It's been a while since I posted my last problem, which was a leaky Timing cover gasket. After about 4 weekends of dissassembly and re-assembly, I've had my bird back for a few weeks now. Everything is running fine and I don't seem to be losing ungodly amounts of coolant.
However: I noticed about a week after I did my timing cover gasket that, first thing in the morning (cold engine) that I have run into a long engine cranking.
Normally, it takes about 1/2 a second for my engine to start up, kinda sounds like this "Brup,Brup, Brup, Brup, VROOOOM". OK?
Now I'm getting it something along the lines of a 2-3 second cranking time "Brup, Brup, Brup, Brup, Brup, Brup, Brup, Brup, Brup, Brup, VROOOOM".
All consequent "hot" starts are back to normal (I.E. the 1/2 a second start). Although the cooler temps have settled into the area here in Albany, I don't think that would be a major factor. I've had my SC for 3 winters here and I've never had winter starting woes, even on a frigid -2degree F morning.
So, is this something for me to worry about? Did I screw something up when I re-installed my camshaft syncronizer? (Don't worry, I referenced marked everything and when I slid it back in (didn't turn the engine crank, it fired right up like normal).
Maybe my Coil pack is Fugged, or my Dis is going south? I've got a 95. Of course any and all advice is appreciated. PS. Plugs and wires are good, I replaced them 2 years ago with double plats and jacob's wires.
