| he just recently bought a 95 riviera supercharged,, the guy that had it said he had not used it for a while.. it was just sitting in his garage..... everytime we try to turn on the car it hesitates to start.... if i dont step on the gas pedal all the way in or keep pushing it the car wont start.. what can we do to fix this...i was thinking he needed a tune up maybe change the spark plugs but hes only 16 and he spent all his money on the car.. lol | |

| You could start by getting a scan done to see if there are any DTCs. A fresh tank of gas with some fuel system cleaner would be my next move. Then plugs if that doesn't fix it. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30 3.4" pulley • AL104 plugs • 180º t-stat • FWI w/K&N • 1.9:1 rockers • OR pushrods • LS6 valve springs • SLP headers • ZZP fuel rails KYB GR2 struts • MaxAir shocks • Addco sway bars • UMI bushings • GM STB • Enkei 18" EV5s w/ Dunlop DZ101s • F-body calipers EBC bluestuff/Hawk HP plus • SS lines • Brembo slotted discs • DHP tuned • Aeroforce • Hidden Hitch^^^ SOLD ^^^ '70 Ninety-Eight Holiday Coupe 455cid • 116k miles^^^ SOLD ^^^ | |

| I would say its defintly some where in the combustion phase .ether jets are clogged so fuel cleaner like seafome in with about 6 gallans of gas and run it . Two depends on how long it sat if it was more then 6 months defintly would pop out a spark plug or two and check them to see if they need to be replace spark plugs and air filter. I say Air filter cause when i got mine of my boy it sat for 3 months pretty much and there was a begining of a nest in it. Have you checked the oil two? if its black and thich change it. Also a fuel filter would be nice. | |

| if its sat for 6mo then it needs an oil change. btw gas goes bad after about 30 days without stabilizers, so a tank of 93 and a new air filter would do well. fuel filter is a good idea b/c it's probably never been done. my next step would be plugs, and if all of those dont fix the start-up hesitation then check the battery and starter. good luck _________________ 1996 with 254k miles, L32 4" FWI -> ported N* -> Ported Gen V w/3.0" Pulley, Stage 3 Phenolic I/C, ZZP FMHE, 1.84 RR, Headers and 3" pipe to mufflers, F-body brakes, and lowered on Eibachs. -RIP AMG C400 White on black.
