So my car has been cranking for maybe 3-5 seconds before starting at temps above 45 or so and it had a slow down shutter. So this weekend I set the timing to as close to the advanced line as i could get it. Also i performed the hammer mod to get my IQ from .08 to about 2.2 to get rid of the shutter. After all this my car cranks for maybe 10 seconds or more before it fires off.

My guess is i messed the seal up on the pump when i did the hammer mod and its loosing a prime when sitting.

I am a new to these cars and any help would be appreciated.
