Poor Starting

[RT/M]

Just had new tyres all round and what a difference, amazing, however my car is taking longer to start (not related obviously, its been doing this a while now) anyway it seems to spin over fast enough on the starter, and starts eventually, a lot lot longer than it used to, once it fires up it seems to run perfectly, done a couple of hundred miles in it the weekend and no problems apart from starting issues, this is not only from cold start up but from normal temp start up also.
Now without renewing practically everything, apart from the spark splugs as they are new, is there a common thing it could be, any suggestions would be fully appreciated, thanks guys

If you just changed plugs check your leads. Connection or lead might be bad.

Do you have a Gen 1 viper????
If so its not uncommon for them to turn over 4 or 5 times before starting..
The check valve in the tank fails.. its easier to just prime the system by turning the ignition on and of 3 or 4 times to re-prime the fuel lines...

Hi thanks guys and especially Dr-Bob it seems as though the above is the problem, is it possible to renew the nrv with the tank in situ?

Not sure on that one but,, you need to cut the rear panel out in the boot to get to the tank.. There is a Guy in NY called Tom that did a repair kit but not sure if they are still available....I'll find out...
