First on those v8s.....when starting it always hold the gas pedal down about a third if the way.

They have a tendency to be tough to start when warm too so I got in the habit with mine to never shut it off unless it would be allowed to sit long enough to cool down.

I spent a pile of money chasing this problem and never solved it exept by doing the two things above.

Its an aggrivation but other than this the car was wonderful.
