Subject:      Difficult starting, smell gas,
              fires when pedal down (more air flow)

Hello folks,

Seems a problem has developed and I’d appreciate any leads to point me in the right direction. ’89 Syncro WBX.

1. First it cranks fine, but doesn’t start. On cold start. 2. After a few seconds of cranking I went to look in the back, and I could smell a bit of gas. 3. I tried again and put the accelerator to the floor and then it started. 4. Have had similar experiences in the last few days.

Seems to restart when warm without much problem.

Interested in a couple of leads that may be the problem before I go into full debug mode.

- temp sensors?

- Vacuum leak?

Thank you!

Roland
