Listees - Happy 2002! I have a question about my 1.9l wbx. It always starts cold, but after driving a few miles and warming up and stopping and say eating lunch I'll go out and it often takes a LONG time to fire up. Starter is strong, battery too. I get the feeling there is some flooding happening because I smell unburnt fuel after several turnovers. Sometimes I press the gas pedal other times no, and sometimes I'll get her started after several pumps on the gas..just don't see that pattern yet. If I wait 10, 20 minutes she'll fire up. Often times after a drive when I arrive home for curiosity I try to fire up after parking and cutting the engine. Most of the time it won't fire up again. It had new plugs, wires and cap a year ago (5k miles ago). Sometimes idle is a little high, but usually drops after a time. I don't believe timing is an issue. I live in a temperate coastal climate so I don't believe weather is an issue. Well, that's about the extent of it. Thanks for any advice.
