lately ive been having a hard time starting my car...like it will take a few cranks to get her going. also when driving it shoot flames and backfires like crazy.

i also notice that it only has a hard time starting if i let her sit for longer than 20-30 minutes or so. if i shut the motor off then immediatly try to start it again...she will fire right up.

at first i thought it might just be the o2 sensor cause it was shooting flames and running really rich but im starting to think it might be something else.

maybe injectors? if so do u know how i can test or check them?

thanks
