1988 vert won’t start unless staring fluid is used
Recently the car hasn’t been wanting to start but if I use starting fluid it will start and after that the car runs perfectly it only needs it on start ups the car is mostly stock i did the rats nest delete,recently deleted the omp during my owner ship I’ve always premixed I’ve owned the car for two years now also had a full racing beat exhaust the 5th and 6 ports never worked since I got it the actuators are there just not hooked up. I thought it was the pump cause it wasn’t priming I wired it to a switch and still nothing any help would be greatly appreciated

recently changed probably like 100 miles on them I change them about twice a year what I’m scared about is it having low compression the motor has 100k plus I’m not sure of the exact number odometer stopped reading long ago

well, for now, the only other thing that comes to my mind is (maybe?) the starter. are you sure it's turning fast enough? maybe check it out. clean your terminals and the main connections at the engine block and at the starter itself.
other than that, i'll start reaching ...
- dirty injectors?
- a bad tank of gas - you said it started this recently. does it coincide with a recent fill-up?
outside of it being any of those ideas, i think you're just going to have to start checking things to confirm or rule out. check your compression. check the integrity of your cooling system.
