Ok so i've searched and havent be able to find exactly what i was lookinf for, In the morning the car takes about 10 minutes to start it cranks find i'm not sure of the voltage to the starter but it seems fine.

I've replace the fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs and wire's, the car runs f'n awesome once it start ups but it still takes about 10 mins typically maybe 10 to 15 starts.

about the 13 to 14 try it kind of starts then die's and then a couple try's later it runs fine, i don't think it's a problem with the battery/ cable since it start's eventually without a jump start but i'm not sure what it could be i thinking it's the fuel pump but it does start and run fine once it starts so i'm not sure and then it runs and start's fine all day.

I'm thinking it may be something to do with the ignition system but i'm pretty much lost so any help would be great.
 
what did you do to repair the wiring. i've switch my sensor out twice and sodered new wiring with no luck. Maybe i did something wrong.

Can you let me know what you did with the wires.

Thanks....
 
I cut the wires about 6 in back and soldered new wires and installed a new plug on the end and heat shrinked it so it's nice and water proof.

i aslo got a logger to make sure that the temp was correct so i can keep a better eye on it.

This also might sounds stupid but ive heard of people cutting the wires to fix them and switching them arounf i'm sure you didn't do that but it happens

All the solenoids in the picture I dont have none of that , no egr, no fp solenoid, or anything... Is it better to actually have the boost gauge tapped to the fp solenoid?
Or right off the intake manifold? Because if its better for it to go in the fp solenoid Im going to have to rewire that in.? ( I live in Fl i dont really have to worry about cold starts, and plus I park in a garage over night )

Again, FPS is for hot starts, not cold start. You'll be fine if you don't have problems starting the car while the motor is still hot (Like after visiting a convenient store) in hot summer days. If you do, put the FPS back on.
