Hey guys, I just joined after lurking for a while. Anyway my problem goes like this. I went to start the wronco this moring and as soon as the engine started to run, it died and refuses to start. So I figured it flooded and I let it sit. Btw is about 10 degrees outside right now. I let it sit for half an hour and nothing. So now I'm getting desperate and I'm late for work now. I even tried a little starter fluid and it fired and ran for about 2 seconds max and died. So I don't know what to do now. As a side note it's been running not so great lately up until now. Idles around 1100 rpm when warm and seems to hesitate after every gear shift. Pretty rough idle too. It's also had been starting not so great. Even when it's warm I'll have to crank for 3 seconds and it slowly spits and coughs to life, almost like a lack of fuel. And the starter seems to be spinning fast like it should. It had a tune up about two months ago and that helped, but it's been getting worse since. Thanks
Edit: I talked to a local shop that I trust and he figures it's the fuel pump. So being that I don't have a shop to work in and crawling through the snow sucks I'm having him look at it. Also I forgot to mention the fuel filter was replaced about a month ago. If anyone is curious I will continue to update until the problem is solved.
