    Default Hard Start

    Ever since I started mucking around with my exhaust manifold, an odd starting issue has popped up.

    Once in a while I will get a hard start, itll whirl n whirl n whirl, let off, try again, itll kick and start, try and idle at around 400 rpm. Give it a little gas and itll start spitting and sputtering at 1200rpm and doesnt come out of it, but if I shut it off and restart, the problem is solved. Recent tune up, fuel filter and such.

    Any suggestions?

    I am sure there is, the manifold still leaks a bit, much less than before the hard starts came along. Exhaust was %93 of the way to open manifold.
