1988 L98 Auto.
recently aquired.
hard to start from cold start.
literally 3-7 seconds on the starter.
New wires, not plugs.
new cap and rotor.
once she starts i get a puff of smoke, not oil....smells like old fuel. (3rd new tank of fuel)
trust me being a Jeep guy I know oil smoke smell.
Once she is running, she starts slow then idles fine. after that no performance issues.
runs hard and great mileage for a V8.
16-18 city.
any ideas?
i have not changed fuel filter, and I have a New K&N air filter.
i dont think its plugs, rapid fires are in there, and they look to be pretty new, no rust or burning on the outside ceramic.
Also is that VATS bypass from Ecklers worth it?
or can I just wire in a toggle myself?
anyone done it?
did it work well?
will also post about this in a new thread in electrical.
Thanks in advance guys!
