bad pententiometer cause hard start?

[artony12]

could anyone here pls confirm a defective pententiometer causing hard/no starts? I read that the computer can suffer a nervous breakdown of a sort.

possible clue-My spark plugs were bone dry after cranking several times. It also to wants to stall at low speeds. I had a hard start issue but i got it to run very nicely in fact at speed then back to the no start.

Thanks
