Just wondering. I have Bosch FI at Colorado altitude. My car will not start up right away unless I turn the key and wait about 10 seconds for the fuel pump to prime. All plugs and wires new, new fuel pump, and fuel filter. Moroso electronic conversion. New battery. I try to drive the car once a week. Just looking for advice. Car is a 1976 2.0 with 1973 2.0 engine. OEM fuel injection.

On the 1.8 liter the pump doesn't start pumping until you turn the ignition. On the 2.0 the pump will prime once the key is turned to the on position. I added a hand throttle from Tangerine Racing since the L-jet is picky sometimes.
