My car has been sitting for about 3 weeks. I went to start it today and a few times it started on the prime, then died. Eventually when I got it going it ran rough until it warmed a little.
I have replaced all fuel lines, fuel pump, all sensors, vac lines, etc when I did the VOD. I did not have this problem before doing the VOD work.
The tank is sitting below 1/4

any ideas?

thanks
John

Was it running good after the VOD work and before you let it sit for 3 weeks.

yes it ran well...I think I found the problem....looks like one of the wires that runs into the cold start valve connector was pushed out...I will let the car sit overnight and see how it starts.
