duxthe1 was right. The spark plug/distributorcap/rotor made zero difference to the starting issue

I checked my duty cycle and it goes between 76-80 when in closed loop mode. Apparently this is normal for CA cars. Is this ok?

Thanks for the advice Ytech15.

I am planning on replacing all or most of the engine bay vacuum lines/connectors as many look old/yellow or are wet.

There is a local enthusiast selling a few fuel accumulators. I might get them all and try the best one as well as do a fuel filter change. Hopefully that will better results.
