Re: Inconsistent starting cycle

I am using AC Delco platinum tip plugs. I don't believe the car calls for the iridium plugs. Platinum was standard issue at the time. I did a spark plug change about 20,000 miles ago. The plug wires are AC Delco too but were in good shape at the time so they were not changed. I do wait for the fuel pump to prime. Sometimes I'll even do it twice, though that never seems to do anything.

Yeah, it's not really an issue, it's just a bit annoying. I am worried about the starter and flywheel though. Those times where it starts immediately I sometimes hold the key I'n the start position too long and I get a not so nice squeeling sound that I was unable to duplicate in the video. I'm worried it's the starter grinding. I don't think it has starter grind protection. And I know from experience what a hassle it is to change a flywheel.lol
