ok so i have a '98 GS-t and if it sits in the driveway over night or just anywhere for long period of time. when i come to try to start it...it start the just dies off after a few seconds...usually takes a second time or sometimes 3rd for it actually to stay on and run. any idea whats happening?
P.S. it has just abot every bolt on pushin 317whp @ 20psi.
im thinkin maybe has to do with fuel?
fuel setup as follows:
680cc injectors, FPR, and dyno tuned with SAFCII, 255HP Walbro pump
running EVO GTIII turbo daily at 15psi.
also my dipstick pops out....i have a tubular manifold and i ordered a new dipstick should that just help the problem or can i do something else to help out? since the pop out is mainly caused by blowby would an oil catch tank help any at all?

thanks ahead.

If you have an obstruction that's causing pressure to build up, perhaps it might get solved when you put an oil catch tank in... A lot of times the dip stick blowing out means that an engine rebuild is coming up in your future.
