When I let the engine sit for about 2 days and start it then it takes about 4 seconds of cranking time and then it starts but it shakes and sputters like its choked up with gas or somethin then when I feather the gas and get the rpms up to like 4 and let off its fine. What could possibly be choking it up!!?? I have new injectors so there not leaking, I was thinking headgasket leak but it dont appear to use any a/f. I had another car with a bad head gasket and it would start up fine just smoke on start without sputtering. The timing is correct, everything seems to be running okay. I also have a slight valve click noise seems to be a little louder then a normal motor would be but not anything that loud. I was having poor high end powerband issues but since I added LEX A/F,550 and advanced the timing to 13 BTDC its incredible to say the very least. I have all the other mods too 3 1/2 inch from turbo BC, Lex A/F,550, intake exc. At idle the mixture is lean so its not like its shutting down with excessive unburned fule either. WHAT COULD BE CHOKING UP MY MOTOR ON START UP?

I would guess its probably the cold start injector. First check the wire clip that is directly on top of the thermostat houring. On my car it is brown. It is prone to damage so make sure its connect properly. if that doesnt help you might want to remove the cold start injector itself and either let it sit in some fuel injector cleaner overnight or just remplace it. hope this help ya
