hey guys me again
ok here is whats happening 99 rs

for 2 continuos days now its been taking about 5 seconds to start my car. i can constantly count to 5 and it will start the same every time. i am hearing from friends that it could be the starter giving out the wrong signals, or something about a O ring from my fuel line thats supposed to hold the fuel up for the next start. is there any way i can figure it out without taking the starter/fuel line apart and checking them? thanks for your help in advanced.


by the way i have new plugs/wires and distributer. new battery. thanks

 

When you turn the key, the fuel pump should prime for about 3 full seconds, and shut off. You should be able to hear it, like a loud humming.

If the fuel pump primes, you could check the fuel pressure regulator, it might be bad.

The fuel pump itself might be on its way out and just being weak.

Is this a new thing or has it been like that always?

It can be just the weak fuel pump it can also be weather dependant

 

is replacing the fuel pump a PITA? from 1-10 im maybe a 4 in being able to work on cars. i know how to do basics and replace gaskets but anything very technical i dont have the time to learn at the moment. and is there any sure fire way that i can check if it is the fuel pump via pulling it off and testing it or any other way?

 

The only way to check for a bad fuel pumpis checking fuel pressure.

 

lets say it is the fuel pump that is the problem, is it possible to take the fuel pump from the gst or the gsx to put into my rs?? i have been reading some other dsm sites and some people are saying yes and no. so im quite confused. and later , MUCH later i do plan on making this a uber high compression n/a car ^^. so any suggestions?
