trouble starting after timesert job - HELP!

[chance_b]

Thanks for all the replies, you guys are awesome. I'll do the oil change, add the starter spray and crank some more tomorrow morning, as it's been raining today. If that doesn't work, I'll go grab a pressure tester. I'll post results tomorrow!

What you have described is "post ignition" which used to be a usual problem on older cars. The fuel system is dumping too much fuel into the cyliders and the flow has to be controlled or it will continue. The fuel pressure controller has to be changed to correct the problem.

Hey Mugsandluke; where are you located. I live in Catskill.

Some rings will glaze if oiled with regular motor oil.

Hey,

Where could I pick up a fuel pressure controller? I checked Rockauto but couldn't find one there. Are they costly?

How hard is it to replace?

EDIT*** it could also be called a regulator, right?

Fuel Pressure Regulator, not controller. Rockauto should have them. See Tech Tips. I think there is an R & R proceedure listed. Very easy.
