i drove it and punched it a few times, and every time it did respond well. once it did hesitate, there is five gallons in the tank, and the plugs are brand new with new wires and cap n rotor. it didnt idle that well at all. also when i try to start, it almost sounds like no fuel. but after trying for a while, it does sputter like it wants to start

interested! · 03-17-2013, 10:55 PM

OK , when the engine WAS running , did you manage to get to a point where the thermostat opened ? -- did it heat up quickly - overheat (may be retarded! ) or misfire at all ( hesitate under a heavy load ? - too far advanced ? ) .
I'm grabbing for info to try a long distance diagnosis here .

a little hesitation when punching it, just pulled the plugs, they are brand new but very black at the connection.. the thermostat didnt get hot no.. and thank you for your help.

is it compression??? maybe rings? please tell me no lol.

compression test will tell you there, stock compression should be between 175-180 psi. Could also be your cold start injector or your cold start injector switch which is I believe the brown sensor on the thermostat housing, I've been having a similar problem and was told that would be the main culprit.
