Just bought the car and once you can get it started it runs great but to get it started after is sets out in the heat for a few hours for some reason you have to crank on it and press the gas pedal as fast as you can and once it starts you have to feather the pedal till it revs up all the way or it will die once it revs up all the way it idles and runs fine ive tried a coupple new gas caps and nothing changed I cant think of what it might be im more into carburated engines so any help is appreciated
