The car does not start the first couple of tries. When it does start, it runs great. I cannot seem to locate the fuel filter on this car. What could be possible causes?

Hello,

There is no fuel filter except for the per filter for the pump which is in the tank. It could be a weak fuel pump causing this issue but it could be a dirty throttle bore as well.

Here is a guide to help us see whats going on:

Please run down this guide and report back.
