Question
Dragonsm
My commuter car is a 1996 Chev Corsica with the 2.2 motor with about 152,000 miles on it. In the past 6 months or so, I have noticed it has been harder to start at times. Seems as though when it is damp outside or after driving it for a while when it is warmed up it'll crank and crank and crank and maybe stutter and start, however I normally have to put the pedal to the floor and then it will start (smells "rich" then) and after it seems to burn the excess runs fine. I am guessing something similar to this was discussed in another post where putting the pedal to the floor "defloods" it and that it more than likely is a plug, wire or coil issue due to lack of spark?
Spark plugs were recently changed and gapped accordingly. Haven't touched plug wires or ignition coils just yet. Does this sound like I am heading down the right road? If you need more "information" for a guess, let me know and I'll try and provide.
Thanks in advance!
Steve
