My '94 has always been a slow starter, and I don't know if this is normal or not. I bought the car with 15k and now have a little over 20k miles, but it has always sounded the same. Someone told me it almost sounds like an older starter that would need "shimmed". I don't know if they're adjustable or not. I'm thinking it is losing fuel pressure when it sits for a while (minutes, not months) and the fuel pump needs to re-pressurize the lines. Sometimes it will start, sputter, and stall. Once it's running, though, there seems to be no problem. I got new plugs and wires and hope to get them changed this weekend, but I doubt that's the problem. Any thoughts?
