Matt, ha! This is great! I actually have this problem right now. (Well before I got the engine knock, I'll address it after I sort that out). When my wife bought the car for me, the owner was explaining that to her but she didnt really understand. So for awhile I had trouble starting the car. Eventually, I figured out that I put the car in the on position and hear the fuel pump priming. It would do this for about 15 min. Then the car would fire right up. I replaced the pump and the relay, did all kinds of electrical test lol A few other guys on IG had the same problem. One of them said he changed his computer and it fixed it. He told me to try that. Now that I see Matt saying it. I'm sure thats what my problem is too. I'm going to share this knowledge. Much appreciated. Sorry for the long comment lol

I remember watching this video a long time ago but I didn't remember exactly the beginning of it where he explained exactly what was wrong with my car SMH I needed a new fuel pump anyways so I replaced it and then inspected the computer 2 different times and finally noticed that one of my capacitors was literally just pouring out look like oil or something from the bottom of it onto the ECM board tried replacing that capacitor and the other 2 but didn't have any luck I think I might have burnt a Trace...

That was pretty cool tool!! I see cream is gone that's weird cause my 92 GT when I turn the key on the on position I don't ever think I heard the fuel pump I just prime it 1 time in the car starts right up the second turn of the key I might open the hatch up to see if I can hear the pump!! But my computer seems to be working fine cold start it idles around 1100 rpms maybe a minute or so it drops down to about 800 rpms dosen't bounce up in down!! Like I said before I haven't ran the car in over 2 years put a new battery in it turned the key once second time she fired right up for me did it's thing idle dropped down no surges or ruff idle in that surprise me I done cleaned 2 rats nest on my motor but when I get paid next week I am going to buy some rat poison blocks try to get most of the nest out it's hard cause of the upper intake try a shop vac in maybe a hose spray it out!! I wish the frame rails wasn't rotted out it's not a bad looking car the motor runs really strong! But I can't afford to fix it when u live on SSDI it's kinda hard that's why if I want a V8 notch a 4cyl 1 was the best option for me I mean I basically have a donor car in I have the whole 89 MAF engine harness I source out a really nice o2 harness it's the with the loop in it what is pretty cool about it u can just move the loop wire u can pin it to be used for a auto trans or manual trans but it's pinned for a manual trans I believe it came from a 88 California car when they started with the MAF! But I have a 89 head light harness I didn't want to take the chance on just extending the alternator wires all the way from the driver side to the passenger side on 4cyl cars the alternator is on the driver's side in I rather not take the chance of not the right size wire in my car catch fire after all that work! Even though I still have to wire it for the 3G alternator in the 130 amp fuse block! But like I was saying I wouldn't be able to afford a nice V8 notch prices are crazy but I had a really nice 87 4cyl notch fall in my lap for a few grand in some hard work I should have a pretty nice car when I get finished with I don't care if it's a original V8 car I will be paying 4cyl price insurance lol!! Maybe 1 day I will get down there to meet u in u can see the never ending project lol I am just waiting for it to blow up or the transmission to go cause it is on it's way so!!!
