I have a 1996 buick roadmaster wagon. With a Lt1. Problem I am have is won't start right away when cold. Check pump pressure and that seemed fine. When it sets a couple of days will start right up, as well when warm. If you don't start it for a hour, same problem, does not start within 3 revolutions. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Try cycling the key a few times, on/off, before you crank it. If it helps, sounds like a fuel issue. With intermittent issues, you have to test when problem is ongoing.

If the problem is a cold start, isn't the engine cold after it sets a few days?
