    Starting engine bogging problem

    when i first start my engine for the first 5-10 seconds it runs like krap. it sounds like its gonne bog down and shut off. it doesnt do this everytime i start the car. nor do i have any problems driving or anything after that 10 seconds.

    what could be my problem?
    i just replaced my spark plugs with autolite double platniums and i just replaced my spark plug wires with new ngks. I also just switched to synthetic motor oil.

      I do not think that could be the problem since after it stops i have no problems running my car it does not bog or anything just the initial few seconds

            Does this only happen when the car is cold, or every time you start it?

            If it's every time you start it, try letting the car warm up. Then turn it off, turn it back on, and give it a little gas as it's doing the bogging thing. (don't do this if the engine has been sitting for a while, as revving a cold engine is VERY bad!)
            It may be a fuel issue. Perhaps a fuel pressure issue (which could possibly be the filter, as mentioned above). You may not have adequate fuel pressure right away.

            That's my first thougt, and probably the simplest to check... there are a number of things that may cause similar problems as well.

                how difficult if it to get in and check your fuel filter? and can you physically see it it dirty or old when you take it out or not?

                  fuel filter is not difficult to get to or change. it is right under your vacuum box its behind the throttl. e body just left of center on the firewall. you will need to disconnect 4 or 5 vacuum hoses(very simple takes 3 seconds). after the hoses are disconnected you move the vacuum box and the fuel filter is kind of behind and under it. there will be 2 cylinder looking things and its the one to the right. it has a banjo bolt and a threaded fitting on it. make sure to replace the washers(3 should come with a new fuel filter. 2 for the banjo bolt and the other small one is for the bolt that you release the fuel pressure with).

                  then to remove the fuel filter can be kind of a pain in the buttocks. the threaded fitting on the fuel filter can and probably is a bit rusted onto it. you might need some pb bllasteter or maybe just a lot of elbow grease. if you have a flare nut wrench use that because it is less likely to strip the nut.

                  a new fuel filter is only liike $15 from autozone and you should replace them every 2 years or 24k miles or so. you can also borrow a fuel pressure test kit (with around $175 deposit) from autozone. which can tell you if your fuel pressure is correct. i have never done it but i hear changing the fuel pump is a HUGE pain in the ass on these models. just hope you dont have to do that.



                  chances are your fuel filter will need to be replaced. i would just go ahead and do it anyway

                    Did this problem exist prior to your tune-up? Did it start occurring after a previous repair or install?
