Roadmaster-Hard start & Hesitation

[Rich49505]

So I bought my 1995 Buick Roadmaster with the 350 LT1 a year ago.

Problem: A few months ago it started hesitating when I accrlerate slowly. It stalled only a couple of times going through a drive-thru restaraunt. Now recently the problem is getting worse, it takes a few times turning the key to finally start. After driving it for a while and turn it off it starts right up usually though. I've tried putting sea foam in the tank a few times now over the months this problem has been there and no change at all.

How many miles on her?Any recent work .Fuel filter and inspect plugs would be my first move.Spray some carb cleaner where intake meets heads looking for change in idle indicating vacuum leak.Maybe a can of cleaner for mass air flow sensors .Is it holding any codes ?

Thanks I'll start with looking at wires first then. Only 84, 000 miles on her right now. No recent work. I tried to have a friend hook up his scanner but he couldn't get a reading, found a bad fuse for the air so replaced that one but still couldn't get a reading.

I had a friend do a fuel pressure test and it was at 30 psi. If I needed a new fuel filter would the psi be down less than 30 psi?

Pressure is 10-15 lbs low a new pump may be in you're immediate future .At 84k wires are probably ok you don't want to mess with them till you have to. You have the ability to check codes using HVAC controls check here for OBD instructions

You might want to have your ignition control module tested, they'll do it for free at autozone or any other store.. When mine went bad it didn't give me a check engine light but it was hard to start it and sometimes it would die while driving, then it wont start again till it cooled down..
