i did it, :( turn'd my hand the color of the paint... "red"

typically if a car is hard to start when hot, try this:
-check air filter
-check battery terminals/leads
-**change fuel filter & run fuel injector cleaner

save the fuel system for last, its all stuff you should check regularly but the other stuff is much quicker.

car won't start peroid :(

[docrice]

does it try to turn over at all? if not, then DEFINITE check battery, terminals, and leads

[Andy5]

it'll crank, but it seems like there isn't any spark or anything, it idles areound 1500rpm it bogs when i tap the gass pedal to gett he rpm's up, and my rev limiter kicks in at 5100rpm I don't understand, before tranny swap it was running normal!
:mad: this car is ****ing me off

Sounds like a bad engine temp sensor. When its warm, and you try and start it, it thinks its actually cold so it goes into warm up mode which means it runs extra rich. When you start a car cold and its really cold like below zero out it needs a lot of fuel. But if the engine is already warmed up and it injects that same amount of fuel, it runs too rich and bogs down the engine.

It's the red plug kind of near the throttle body.

k, makes sense, i'll replace that hopefully it'll work. now any idea on the rev limiter :), cause not drifting is boring and i can't even race all the riced out j-body's here :(
