Message	I've been looking through this site for a few weeks now trying to find my problem. I am having no such luck. My car takes around a minute to a minute and a half start. Sometimes longer, but never sooner. Also, everytime I'm cranking it I smell raw fuel. It eventually starts to fire and it seems like it takes each cylinder a while to all fire correctly. But once it's started, my car runs great. Thought my problem was lack of fuel, but I'm beginning to think its too much fuel. Things I have done........ Swapped out Fuel pump, replaced spark plugs with new. Bypassed prvr valve. Changed FPR valve. Cleaned all connections. Nothing. I mean none of this has made a difference at all. I'm beginning to think injectors, but why would it run so good once it's started and going down the rd. idles great and everything. Any help or ideas on this would be awesome. 1991 TT 5 spd
