1986 Fifth Avenue-Cold Start-crank 3 times-Start on 4th try
My 1986 Chrysler Fifth Avenue takes 4 trys to start in the morning.
Simply does not start on the first 3 tries. Starts right up on the 4th try. Starts and runs throughtout the day without problems. Then after sitting all night back to the 4 crank mode. New plugs and wires, rebuilt carburetor and distributor. I think it might be the ECM module (Spark Control Computer) but am not sure. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks Bob AZ |

My mother had one, and had it taken off and replaced the carb with an older model. That Lean Burn System gave her constant problems with OK weather. |

sounds like the fuel in the fuel line is bleeding back to the tank during
the night. check the pressure at the carb. in the morning after it has sat all night, "Bob AZ" > wrote in message ... > My 1986 Chrysler Fifth Avenue takes 4 trys to start in the morning. > Simply does not start on the first 3 tries.
