trouble starting in early morning

06-22-2007, 10:05 AM

1991 festiva automatic
only in the early mornings my car has a hard time starting but is fine the rest of the day. it takes about 4 cranks to finally get it started but i had noticed that the vaf meter plug is loose some times and wiggle it a littel and sometimes it helps and sometimes it does not help. again only in the morning and it is fine the rest of the day.

thanks in advance.

Moisture over night collecting on or in something ?

Try cleaning and spraying all connections with WD to displace it .

WD is not the way to go, try carb cleaner. there's no residue after and you can add dielectric grease when it drys.
