Okay, so here's where I'm at now:
I got the new injectors and installed them. The car will start with a spray or start fluid and keep running great. Unlike before, where it bucked and backfired. It doesn't do that now; it runs smoothly after it starts. It runs, it revs it sounds good. If I shut it off, it will fire right up again on its own, even if I leave it off for a few minutes, if fires right up on its own.
But it needs the spray to start when it's cold.
Today I did start the car without spray, but it was 6 degrees Celsius our, it cranked way longer than it should have, but it did eventually start. But if it's below 0 it will definitely not start without spray.
So, I believe it enriches the air fuel for a cold start. And it seems like that's not happening. If I add fuel via spray it starts. But it's not adding extra fuel on its own. Where do I look for this? I did try a new coolant temperature sensor with no luck.
Should I maybe check the fuel pump for voltage while it's cranking cold?
It doesn't need the spray on a warm start, so that makes me believe the fuel pressure is fine, it's only an issue on a cold start. I'm not sure where to go from here.
Actually, I'm going to get it running and use a propane torch to check for vacuum leaks next. But after that I don't know what else to look at.
