Ok so I just got my car back from the shop car has a 6 bolt swap with some milleage, a fresh head on stock cams. DSMLink , 450cc injectors, and a new fuel pump walbroro. 3" turbo back exhaust with external dump. 14b turbo. think i got that all. car is a M/T FWD 1995. New oil pump.

Well the car takes about 3-4 times to start, it will never full get started and then it dies, I repeat the process 3-4x and it fires right up. It runs fine once it is started. And the weird thing is if i go to start it shortly after it was just running she fires right up...

could it be something as simple as a battery??
 
What did they work on at the shop?


Could be a bad/weak battery or a loose ground connection. I've seen crazier things, because of a rusted out ground, or a bad wire
 
Three things comes to mind.

1. FPR overrun.

2. Improper fuel pump installation.

3. ECT, coolant temperature sensor, check the coolant readings on the Link.
 
shop did the 6 bolt swap and dsmlink...

called shop and they are pretty sure it is a bad o-ring in the fuel pump. hope thats what it is too :)

thanks guys
